Send me a message, I’d love to hear from you!
In honor of Oral Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to bring you a special bonus episode of Straight Up With Steph, where Susan Cotten, a returning podcast guest, seasoned dental hygienist, and oral cancer specialist, presents a masterclass in oral cancer education.
This year, it’s estimated that about 59,660 Americans will be diagnosed with either oral or oral pharyngeal cancer. That’s over 160 Americans diagnosed every single day.
Susan joins us in sharing the four pillars of her Cotten Method for oral cancer screening, common risk factors & symptoms, the significant role HPV plays in oropharyngeal cancer, and how to confidently talk to patients about HPV and the vaccine.
