Oral cancer is on the rise

Oral cancer rates are reaching disturbingly high levels. Today, oral cancer is reportedly more common among women than cervical cancer, accounting for three times as many deaths as cervical cancer. Oral cancer is also believed to be responsible for more deaths than stomach, brain and ovary cancers. In the UK alone, oral cancer cases have increased by more than 25% in the last decade, while in Canada, oral cancer is one of the most common cancers in the population.
