Prevention of oral cancer حسب Malki, Ahmed Mohamed

"…Oral cancer is typically discovered late in its development, most often when it has already metastasized to the lymph nodes, at which point prognosis becomes very poor. Therefore, we firmly believe that it is no longer viable that prevention be considered a person’s own responsibility but rather a matter of a group of health professionals. …"
