Cancer doesn’t change lifestyles

More than 20 million people wouldn’t change their lifestyle even if they knew someone with mouth cancer, according to new research.

More than 20 million people wouldn’t change their lifestyle even if they knew someone with mouth cancer, according to new research. More than three in 10 (31%) said they wouldn’t change their lifestyle, which includes tobacco use, drinking alcohol to excess, poor diet and the human papillomavirus (HPV), often transmitted via oral sex. The survey also revealed one in four (25%) believe they are at risk from mouth cancer, a disease that claims almost 2,500 lives a year – one every four hours – in the UK. The statistics reinforce the scale of the lack of awareness around mouth cancer.
