Oral Cancer strikes an estimated 35,000 people annually in the United States. A person dies from oral cancer in the US, once every hour of everyday. When detected early, the survival rate of oral cancer is 80-90%. Unfortunately, the majority of cases are detected as late stage cancer, and the survival rate is currently only 45%.
The Jack T. Clark Foundation has made the early detection of oral cancer its mission. We serve to educate the public and the dental professionals in the early detection of oral cancer. I challenge you to join our quest. Contact the TAGD and ask how you can help.
