Michael Douglas' Doctor, Jatin Shah & Cancer Survivor Alyssa Fischer Tell Us About Free Local Cancer Screenings All Throughout the US!
According to the American Cancer Society, oral, head and neck cancers represent the sixth most common form of cancer in the U.S., with more than 50,000 cases diagnosed annually and over 12,000 deaths. Surprisingly, many Americans do not recognize the symptoms of these life-threatening diseases, which include cancers of the tongue, mouth, throat and voice box. However, if diagnosed early, these cancers can be more easily treated without significant complications, increasing the chances of survival. Jatin P. Shah, M.D., Ph.D, a world leader in head and neck cancer surgery who is Professor of Surgery at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, Chief of the Head and Neck Service and Leader of the Head and Neck Disease Management Team at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and a member of the board of the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance.
Alyssa Fischer is an oral cancer survivor and patient of Dr. Shah. When she was 22, she found a sore on her tongue that would not go away. She was diagnosed with advanced cancer and underwent a 14 ½ hour surgery in which a large part of her tongue was removed. Dr. Shah and his colleagues worked on preserving and reconstructing the healthy portion so that Alyssa would maintain the ability to talk, eat and live a full life. Today, Alyssa is cancer free and is writing a book about her experience.
