Oral cancer has existed outside the awareness of much of the public, yet it will take one life, every hour of every day in the U.S. This year alone, approximately 43,250 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cancer. This is a number that has not significantly improved in decades; in fact oral cancer is on the rise.
