Unfortunately, cancer is a disease that most people have been affected by, either directly or indirectly. Oral cancer, including cancers of the lips, tongue, cheeks, sinuses, and throat, can be life threatening if left undiagnosed or untreated. Men, especially over the age of fifty, are at the greatest risk for developing oral cancer.

However, approximately twenty-five percent of oral cancer sufferers are non-smokers and casual drinkers.
