Case Western University Furthers Oral Cancer Research

Exciting new research in the battle against a deadly form of oral cancer -- Kaposi’s sarcoma -- has been published by Case Western University in Cleveland.

It details how by-products of gum disease-promoting bacteria can contribute to the development of oral cancer, but also how early testing for these short-chain fatty acids can keep cancer from ever forming in the first place.
