Event Name:

Free Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer Screening

Event Description:

Visit the free Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Screening on Friday, April 24 in Palm Springs. Sponsored by the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Desert Regional Medical Center and the Annette Bloch Cancer Care Center at the Desert AIDS Project, the screening is free and open to the public.

Tobacco and alcohol consumption can be linked to at least 75 percent of head and neck cancers. Unprotected sex can put you at risk for HPV infections, including oral HPV. Symptoms of head and neck cancers include a lump or sore that does not heal, a sore throat that doesn?t go away, difficulty swallowing and hoarseness of the voice. But even with no symptoms present, people with the risk factors should get checked out, said Dr. Elber Camacho, medical director of the Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Last year, 115 people were seen at this annual screening - including 30 people who were referred for routine follow up, 14 people for further follow up and four people for immediate consultation. Don't miss this opportunity to get a free screening-and some peace of mind.
