When we Australians notice a mole on our skin start to change, we are likely get it checked out. But what early warning signs do we have for oral cancer? The truth is, there are signs but very few symptoms in the early stages of the cancer. We know something is not right but if it doesn’t hurt, or bleed, or stop us from eating, we ignore it! That’s why developing early detection screening and encouraging people to get checked when something doesn’t look right, is so important.
