Approximately 110,000 people are diagnosed with oral, head, and neck cancer every year in the United States.
If you’re a frequent or heavy user of alcohol, tobacco, or tobacco products, you are considered high risk and should be screened regularly.
On April 16, the Leever Center provided free oral, head, and neck cancer screenings to the community. Leever providers and staff members volunteered their time to screen 34 individuals at high risk for these types of cancer.
A follow-up appointment with their primary care physician was recommended for 16 screening participants, and four were referred for further head and neck evaluation.
