Mouth Cancer Awareness

Mouth Cancer Action Month was launched last month at the House of Commons. The importance of early detection was highlighted as a key factor in survival rates. Mouth cancer currently kills more people than cervical and testicular cancer combined with over 1,800 recorded deaths in 2008. Recent high profile sufferers include Hollywood actor Micheal Douglas, former England captain Bryan Robson and BBC presenter Danny Baker. Between 1997 and 2007, the number of mouth cancer cases had risen by nearly 46 percent. During our initial comprehensive consultation, oral cancer screening is carried out on a routine basis and followed up upon every further examination. If you are concerned about mouth cancer, please contact us on 0207 7311162.

A Simple Check For Mouth Cancer Could Save Your Life

Mouth cancer is on the rise in the UK with over 2,700 people dying from the disease last year. This is an increase of almost 50% compared to 10 years ago which is a huge increase. One of the main issues is that over 45% of all mouth cancers are diagnosed in the late stages which means that the survival rate is much lower than early diagnosis.
