Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week® (OHANCAW), led by the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance and supported by the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, is April 12-18, 2015. OHANCAW is a weeklong series of events promoting awareness of oral, head, and neck cancer, highlighted by a day of free cancer screenings throughout the US.

According to a Harris Interactive survey, 71 percent of Americans say they have not been examined by a medical professional for oral, head, and neck cancer. The Academy is urging you to participate by conducting a free screening at your medical practice, clinic, hospital or medical university.
To find screening locations in your area, please visit the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance website for more information.
