Oral Cancer Screening
Dr. Monson has the skills and tools to ensure that early signs
of cancer and pre-cancerous conditions are identified. It is
now easier than ever to detect oral cancer early. Currently only
half of all patients diagnosed with oral cancer survive more
than five years. Approximately 30,000 new cases of oral cancer
are diagnosed each year in the United States. According to the
American Cancer Society, oral cancer occurs almost as frequently
as leukemia and claims almost as many lives as melanoma cancer.
Our goal is to ensure preventive measures are in place to keep
your health safe. At our office, with every new patient visit
and regularly scheduled check up visit you receive an oral cancer
screening.
