Oral Cancer Awareness Month: Dr. Scott Edison","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2010,"description":"When we think of oral cancer, we often picture a seasoned smoker or a long-time tobacco user. But did you know that a growing number of cases are affecting young, non-smokers? \nOver 20% of oral cancer diagnoses occur in people under 55, and the culprit might not be what you expect. The rise in instances is linked to Human papillomavirus (HPV) from unprotected oral sex, not tobacco. \nDuring Oral Cancer Awareness Month, we want to take some time to spotlight the extraordinary dentists and practitioners who have taken on this little-understood cancer and are survivors. \nToday's guest is Dr. Scott Edison, a Clinical Associate Professor at the UNC Adams School of Dentistry. Before Scott found a lump on his neck in 2019, he didn't know all that much about head and neck cancer. Nothing makes you an expert in something more quickly than lived experience, and he set out to find out everything he could about the different types of treatment available to him. What followed was a long and painful journey. Additionally, Scott was diagnosed with prostate cancer soon after.\nResources\n\nFollow your curiosity, connect, and join our ever-growing community of extraordinary minds.\nCariFree Website\nCariFree on Instagram\nCariFree on Facebook\nCariFree on Pinterest\nCariFree on Twitter\nDr. Kim Kutsch on LinkedIn\nDr. Michael R.
