MAJOR LEAGUE EFFORT TO FIGHT ORAL, HEAD AND NECK CANCER

June 28, 2006

This week is Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week and there is a new major league effort to help Americans get screened. This year more than 30,000 people will be diagnosed with cancers of the head and neck region. These cancers kill 7,000 each year, but, if caught early, they can be highly treatable.
