The authors reflect on approaches and treatment for oral cancer (OC) and oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). They note that improved screening techniques and adjuncts for OC and OPC need to be tested for practical utility. They state that socioeconomic factors such as quality and access to health care has a significant impact on OC and OPC prognosis. They add that supporting at-risk patients in reducing or quitting dangerous habits such as smoking is the most important.
