Oral cancer death rate not down since 1950 says expert
Dr. Daniel Laskin of the University of Illinois Medical Center in Chicago warns the oral cancer death rate remains high due to late recognition. He notes early detection boosts cure rates, with a cited study showing five year survival rising over 45 percent when diagnosed before metastasis. He highlights gender differences, visibility of mouth cancers, and lips showing high cure rates of 87 to 90 percent.
