Dr. Andow stresses the importance of screening patients for oral cancer to be able to catch any concerns in the early stages of the disease. Deadly - and strangely silent in our society - oral cancer is growing at an alarming rate - over 11% during 2007 in the United States alone. Because the signs and symptoms of oral cancer are often missed by the naked eye, Dr. Andow has incorporated the newest technology to be able to detect early signs of oral cancer.
St ar Dental's Identafi® 3000 ultra with its Identafi® technology allows those on the front line of detection to do just that - identify biochemical and morphological changes in cells of the mouth, throat, tongue and tonsils.
