Early detection can have an 80 – 90% survival rate.  When in doubt check it out!

Signs to look for ( but not limited to ) :

Red or white discolorations in the soft tissue of the mouth.

Sores that do not heal within 14 days.

Hoarseness that lasts for a prolonged period of time.

Numbness in the oral region.

Sensation that something is stuck in your throat.
