Oral Cancer

Oral cancer includes cancers of the mouth, tongue, cheek, lips, sinuses and throat. It can be one of the most dangerous forms of cancer since it can spread quickly and often goes undiagnosed until it is advanced. Early diagnosis could greatly increase the chances for treatment and recovery.
