DESCRIPTION:

Mouth Cancer Awareness Month raises awareness of mouth cancer, its causes, and its prevention.

Mouth cancer causes more deaths per number of cases than breast cancer, cervical cancer, or melanomas.

Tobacco use is still considered the leading cause of mouth cancer. According to the World Health Organization, up to half of the current smokers will die of a tobacco-related illness, including mouth cancer.


Drinking to excess can increase the risk of mouth cancer by four times.

Those who smoke and drink are up to 30 times more likely to develop mouth cancer.

Mouth cancer is twice more common in men than in women, though an increasing number of women are being diagnosed with the disease.

Age is another factor, with people over 40 more likely to be diagnosed, though more young people are now being affected than previously.

Poor diet is linked to a third of all cancer cases.
