Every hour of every day someone in America dies of Oral Cancer
- 5 year survival rate: 52%
- caught early > 80%
- 35% of cases are diagnosed early
- 8,000 deaths each year
Recent studies indicate that 80% of diagnoses are made in the dental chair. Until recently there have been no new developments into the way Oral Cancer is diagnosed or detected. That's why we're so excited about the VELscope.
