Oral Cancer is defined by an uncontrollable growth of cells that attack the body and cause damage to tissue surrounding it. People over the age of 45 are more susceptible to this disease, but if it is caught early enough it can be treated successfully. Oral cancer may not be one that is most talked about, it is just as deadly as any other type of cancer. In fact, oral cancer alone is estimated to be responsible for killing one person every hour of every day in the United States. Although it only accounts for a small percentage of all cancers, it is extremely dangerous. This is due to the inability to detect it early on, usually reaching an advanced stage before being detected. Once it has reached this stage, it is typical that 6 in 10 people will survive after five years of treatment.
