Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses, who’s mission

How Oral Examinations Can Help Save 10,000 Lives. Oral cancer is the sixth
most common cancer globally, and the large majority of oral cancers are in an
advanced stage at the time of detection, leading to approximately 10,000 deaths
per year in the United States. Former U.S. Surgeon General, David Satcher,
once described dental and oral diseases, such as oral cancer, a “silent
epidemic” because oral cancer can be painless and unnoticed by women and
men, making early detection difficult, thus increasing the risk of development of
secondary primary tumors.
