Oral Cancer Risk Factors

In the second half of this episode of the Kicking Cancer Care Show, Kyle Issacs takes a deep dive into the risk factors for oral cancer, including tobacco and alcohol use, HPV exposure, sun damage to the lips, and chronic irritation caused by rough or broken teeth. Kyle also highlights the importance of community involvement through events like the upcoming Corvallis Oral Cancer Walk, happening on September 13, 2025, at Willamette Park in Corvallis, Oregon. Registration kicks off at 8:30 AM, with free oral cancer screenings offered both before and after the walk. This inspiring event raises awareness, provides valuable resources, and brings together survivors, supporters, and healthcare professionals to take action against oral cancer.
