The Oral Cancer Walk, which is being led by the New York University Chapter of the Student National Dental Association, is being conducted to raise awareness of a disease that kills one American every hour of every day. The 5-year survival rate for oral cancer is only 50-to-60 percent, but early detection can result in survival rates of 80 percent or higher.
VELscope is intended to be used in conjunction with conventional "white light" examination to help dentists and other healthcare providers discover oral abnormalities, including those that may be, or lead to, oral cancer.
Registration and oral cancer screenings begin at 9:00 a.m. at Marcus Garvey Park, 121st Street and Madison Avenue in Harlem. The walk starts at 11:00 a.m.
