What to Expect at Your Oral Cancer Screening
Medical institutions follow a variety of testing guidelines and screening requirements that have been established in order to ensure the early detection and treatment of a variety of cancers. Some of these guidelines include recommendations for routine cervical cancer screenings, breast cancer screenings, and colon cancer screenings. There is, however, no standard mouth cancer test because no such guidelines have been created to routinely screen patients for signs of oral cancer. As a result, many dentists have taken up the responsibility of oral cancer screening to improve the early detection of oral cancer and treatment outcomes for their patients.
