摘要
Oral cancer is responsible for more than 8,000 deaths each year. This mortality may be attributed to lack of effective oral examinations by dental and medical primary care clinicians. This pilot project assessed the knowledge, opinions and practices of a group of Maryland physicians and dentists in oral cancer prevention, diagnosis and detection. Dentists performed more oral cancer examinations, although physicians saw more high-risk patients.
