Why should I be screened?
When oral cancer is identified in the earliest stages, the 5- year survival rate is nearly 82 %.*
Unfortunately, the survival rate of oral cancer has not improved greatly over the last 30 years due to late
stage detection.* Early detection is the key to survival.
An annual screening exam called ViziLite TBlue, used in conjunction with a standard visual exam,
helps to identify and qualify abnormalities that can lead to cancer. Simply put, a ViziLite TBlue exam
may turn your annual visit into a life-saving experience.
