Oral cancer affects 30,000 people each year in the U.S. alone. A
national campaign to reduce the incidence of this disease calls
upon general dentists to perform an oral cancer screening as part
of every patient's routine dental checkup. Given the devastating
consequences of a missed or delayed diagnosis, all dentists
should take responsibility for learning how to detect signs of oral
cancer in their patients.
This authoritative guide was written by a team of experts at the
University of Maryland to address this very need. It gives practical,
step-by-step instructions for performing an oral cancer
examination and for detecting signs of the disease at the earliest
stage possible. In addition, the book details comprehensive
procedures for managing and rehabilitating patients who have been
diagnosed with this disease. Finally, it offers specific advice for
counseling patients on how to reduce their risk of developing oral
cancer.
