Description

Studies show that oral HPV (human papillomavirus) infection is linked to head and neck cancer regard- less of two other known risk factors: heavy tobacco and alcohol use. This screening will focus on cancers of the head, neck and throat. A visual inspection of the head, neck and throat will take place during this screening. Anyone over age 18 is welcome to attend.
