Apr 24, 2012
April 24, 2012, LEWISBURG, Pennsylvania — April is oral cancer awareness month, a time to note the 40,000 cases of oral cancer diagnosed each year in the United States. This type of cancer is nearly impossible to detect with the naked eye and even some early detection tools, said David R. Robinson, DMD, who is now offering routine screenings with the VELscope Vx.
