How can we prevent oral cancers?

Floor of the mouth and vermillion border of the lips are the common sites of oral cancers. Oral carcinoma can be avoided by taking following measures:

Avoid radiations from sun.

Say good bye to tobacco.

Don't use even the smokeless tobacco.

Don't eat betel nut.
Be away from alcohol.
Take a balanced diet with adequate amount of fruits and vegetables that have essential vitamins.

Oral exam once a year to detect the tumor in early stages. Only 33% of the cases detected in the last stages of cancer live for five years.
Adequate and early treatment is necessary for survival.
