Oral cancer has frightening statistics. More than 40,000 individuals in the U.S. are diagnosed each year and less than 43% of them will survive more than 5 years after the diagnosis. Early detection is key, early signs include a red or white lesion in the mouth, a sore that has not healed after two weeks, and a hoarse voice.
