Always nice to see someone proactively screening and getting the word out about a cancer that unlike others, is growing in incidence in the US, and most Americans are not aware of. Please note that the fastest growing segment of the oral cancer population are young, non-smokers who come to it from the HPV16 virus, and you should add that to your list of causes (along with tobacco and alcohol). In about 7% of patients there is no identifiable etiology/cause.
