Thousands of cases of oral cancer go undiagnosed every year in the United States. A significant delay in the time of onset of disease to the time of diagnosis leads to poor outcomes for patients suffering from oral cancer. The key to improving prognosis is early detection. Dentists and members of their staff are the first health care providers to see these lesions. Awareness of worrisome lesions and the ability to identify them is of upmost importance in the battle against oral cancer.
