CANCER CAN BE A SILENT KILLER!
Early Detection is KEY!
Oral cancer accounts for approximately 5% of all cancers globally, with significant variations in incidence and mortality rates across different regions.
Global Overview
In 2022, there were 389,846 new cases of mouth and oral cancer worldwide.

The American Cancer Society’s most recent estimates for oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers in the United States are for 2025:
About 59,660 new cases of oral cavity or oropharyngeal cancer
About 12,770 deaths from oral cavity or oropharyngeal cancer
Oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers occur most often in the following sites:
The tongue
The tonsils and oropharynx (the part of the throat behind the mouth)
The gums, floor of the mouth, and other parts of the mouth
The rest are found in the lips, the minor salivary glands (which often occur in the roof of the mouth), and other sites.
Since the mid-2000s, incidence rates have increased by about 1% per year, mostly because of a rise in cancers linked with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. www.cancer.org
