November Cancer Awareness - Mouth and Throat Cancer.
🍺🚬The biggest risk factors for mouth and throat cancer are smoking and drinking alcohol — especially together. Quitting smoking or reducing alcohol can cut your risk significantly
💉 HPV isn’t just linked to cervical cancer — it also causes some throat cancers. The HPV vaccine is a safe, effective way to protect against this risk
The earlier mouth and throat cancers are found, the easier they are to treat. See your GP or dentist if you notice:
• a mouth ulcer lasting more than 3 weeks
• unexplained hoarseness
• red or white patches in your mouth
• pain or swelling in your mouth or throat
Don’t wait — getting checked early makes treatment more successful.
