Oral Cancer Screening
A systematic examination of the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of mouth, palate, throat, and neck lymph nodes to detect early signs of oral cancer and pre-cancerous change.
A thorough visual/tactile exam follows a documented protocol, with photographic records of any findings; suspicious areas are re-evaluated after a short interval or biopsied immediately, with risk-reduction counseling (tobacco, alcohol, HPV, sun exposure) reviewed personally.
Everyone benefits from routine screening, with priority for tobacco/heavy alcohol users, patients over 40, those with prior oral lesions or head-and-neck cancer history, HPV-positive patients, and anyone with a sore unhealed after two weeks.
- Early detection raises survival dramatically
- Painless, takes only minutes
- Photographic baseline tracks change over time
- Immediate on-site biopsy capability if anything looks suspicious.
High-resolution digital documentation and same-visit laser biopsy shorten the path from concern to definitive answer.
