The Oral Cancer Foundation and interviews with founder Brian Hill, and other OCF members figured heavily in an article on the early detection of oral cancer, and the need for public screenings to take place. When asked about the srtory, Hill stated ” For a magazine with the national presence of Woman’s Day to dedicate 3 full pages to telling this story, is a major step in increasing public awareness and literacy about this disease. The incidence of oral cancers in women has steadily increased over the last 15 years, and bringing the information related to risk factors and signs and symptoms directly to them in this manner is extremely important. The writer of the story and the magazine’s editors have done a great job of exposing the facts without leaving out the important details. OCF has wroked hard to gain the cooperation of the dental community in providing opportunistic oral cancer screenings, and to finallly see the positive results of those efforts manifested in a story about a dentist who saves a life via early detection is very rewarding.”
