Vizilight Cancer Screen

One of the services that Dr. Zyoud and his team perform, that you may or may not be aware of, is the screening for cancer. At every recare appointment, Dr. Zyoud and his team conduct cancer screening for various types of cancer of the neck and head. If you have questions, concerns or notice any changes in these or other regions, please let Dr. Zyoud or one of his team members know immediately.

The second type of cancer screening Dr. Zyoud conducts is oral cancer screening. Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when it is caught early. When oral cancer is found at the earliest stage, treatment is quicker, simpler, less invasive and more than 90% successful. According to the American Dental Association, over 25% of oral cancers occur in people who do not smoke and have no other risk factors. It is also a fact that every hour of every day, one American dies of oral cancer. Dr. Zyoud and his team do not want you or someone you know to be a victim.

Dr. Zyoud and her team take cancer screening very serious. If you have questions or concerns, please ask them for more information regarding this disease. You may also access an Oral Cancer Screening Check List to determine who is at risk, the symptoms of oral cancer and how people can reduce their risk of oral cancer or you may visit www.vizilite.com to receive more information on oral cancer.
