title: Hiding in plain sight: detection of oral cancer.
abstract: As caregivers, nurses must educate the public. Even though the doctor or dentist is involved in treatment, the main responsibility for cancer prevention lies with the individual. More knowledge is considered the first step. Nurses must teach people to look after their bodies with healthy lifestyle habits in terms of rest, exercise, good nutrition, and environment. They must develop the habit of self-examination and be knowledgeable of symptoms that need medical attention.
