Review for The Oral Cancer Foundation, Santa Fe, NM, USA
Thank god for the Oral Cancer Foundation. Although oral cancer kills one American an hour, it is disease which has been largely unknown by the general public. However, this is slowly beginning to change based in part on the great website that OCF runs, but more importantly by all of the public awareness that has been generated in recent years by OCF. OCF has also lobbied effectively for more funds for oral cancer research, and for the American Dental Association to pay more attention to the condition. Arguably, nothing a dentist does for a patient is more valuable than an oral cancer exam, and too few dentists do this exam on a routine basis. OCF is helping to change all of that.
