EARLY DETECTION CAN HAVE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES
Oral cancer is often detected too late, which means treatment is difficult. Early detection is critical, and now it is easier than ever.
Oral cancer is a global challenge with more than 529,000 cases and nearly 292,000 deaths each year.
50 %
Worldwide 5-year survival rate is only 50% due to delayed intervention with more than half of all diagnoses made at stage III and IV.
80 - 90 %
Earlier detection (stage 1 and II) can yield survival rates up to 80-90%.
Because tests for oral cancer are usually visual, the disease is too often detected in the late stages where treatment is difficult.
-
Early lesions are often not visible or they mimic other conditions
-
Traditional palpation and visual examination cannot identify occult lesions
-
Current testing options can be cumbersome, costly and difficult to interpret
The simple, accurate and cost-effective Oral Cancer Test can help aid in the early diagnosis of oral cancer and improve outcomes through earlier intervention.
