The importance of oral cancer screenings, from Dr. Skrapits & Dr. Rajan

In our continuing efforts to provide the most advanced technology and highest quality care available to our patients, Drs. Skrapits & Rajan screens our patients for oral cancer. The fact is, every hour of every day in the U.S., someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved.

Early detection of pre-cancerous tissue can minimize or eliminate the potentially disfiguring effects of oral cancer and possibly save your life. Ask Dr. Skrapits & Dr. Rajan about a screening at your next appointment!
