Blue
Wednesday – 16th November 2022
Mouth Cancer Action Month
The
number of new cases of mouth cancer is on the increase, and in the UK has
increased by over half in the last decade alone. Fatality rates are also on the
increase with more than 2,300 people in the UK dying from mouth cancer every
year. Many of these deaths could be prevented if the cancer was diagnosed early
enough. As it is, people with mouth cancer are more likely to die than those
having cervical cancer or melanoma skin cancer and yet far fewer people are
aware of the signs to look out for. If
mouth cancer is spotted early, the chances of a complete cure are good.
Mouth
Cancer Action Month is a charity run by the Oral Health Foundation.
Taking place throughout November, the campaign aims to raise the awareness of
mouth cancer and shares the important message of being “mouthaware”. Blue Wednesday takes
place on 16th November and focuses on the importance of encouraging
self-checks with the simple message: A self-check for mouth cancer takes 45
seconds and can save your life.
