Oral cancer detected too late in Romania: patients reach the doctor at advanced stages
Published
Oral cancer remains an insufficiently monitored problem in Romania. According to some medical specialists, patients frequently go to the doctor when the disease is already at advanced stages, which makes treatment more difficult and reduces the chances of recovery.
Dr. Luminița Oancea, vice president of the College of Dentists of Romania (CMSR), has drawn attention to this situation. Specialists say that many patients do not notice the signs of the disease in time, such as wounds that do not heal, white or red patches in the oral cavity, and persistent pain. For this reason, regular check-ups with a dentist play an important role in early detection.
Thus, specialists recommend that people pay attention to changes in their mouth and go for a check-up if a symptom lasts longer than two to three weeks. Early detection can make the difference between effective treatment and a disease that is difficult to control. The information available at this time does not include new official data on the number of cases in the country.
