Men 'more likely to die from mouth cancer'Health-conscious men looking to prevent emergency dentistry could be interested in the findings of a recent study.

According to Dentistry.co.uk, research published in the Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention journal, men are at a greater risk of dying from mouth cancer than women.

The findings, which covered 36 forms of the disease, revealed that for every female patient there were 5.5 male sufferers.

Although scientists cannot be certain about the reasons behind the figures, many experts believe lifestyle choices are a leading factor.

As part of the study, researchers also discovered that 5.37 men died for every one female patient after contracting cancer of the larynx.

Medicine Net advises members of the public to limit their consumption of tobacco and alcohol to ward off the development of mouth cancer.

In addition, individuals are urged to wear high-factor sun cream on the lips in a bid to prevent the onset of the potentially fatal disease.ADNFCR-2621-ID-800624956-ADNFCR
