One person dies every hour from oral cancer in the United States. Late detection of oral cancer is the primary reason
that mortality rates are so dismal. As with most other cancers, age is the primary risk factor for oral cancer. Though tobacco use is a major predisposing risk factor, 25% of oral cancer victims have no lifestyle risk factors.
