Oral Cancer Prognosis (Expectations)
Approximately 50% of people with oral cancer will live for longer than 5 years. If the cancer is detected early, before it has spread to other tissues, the cure rate is nearly 75%. Unfortunately, more than 50% of oral cancers are advanced at the time the cancer is detected. Most have spread to the throat or neck.
Approximately 25% of people die from oral cancer because of delayed diagnosis and treatment.
