Abstract
Preview Even though the oral cavity is one of the most accessible areas for examination, oral cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Why is this so, and how can this tendency be reversed? In this article, Dr Alvi stresses the importance of education of both physicians and patients in achieving the goal of earlier diagnosis. He also discusses warning signs of cancerous oral lesions, diagnosis, and treatment choices.
