We research better treatment for and prevention of mouth cancer:
In the UK 5000 people get mouth cancer every year
It’s twice as common as cervical cancer
It’s the most disfiguring cancer and affects patients’ ability to speak and eat
We research better treatment for facial injury:
125,000 young people sustain serious facial injuries every year in the UK
We research better psychological support for patients with facial disfigurement:
15,000 people in the UK seek treatment for facial disfigurement every year.
The surgeons who are taking part in our research are working hard to improve the treatment of all patients with mouth cancer and other disfiguring facial injuries and diseases. They give their time pro bono but Saving Faces makes this research possible by providing researchers to collect outcome data about differing treatment protocols and research. Saving Faces also funds psychology researchers and trains surgeons in research. It provides patient-to-patient support through its expert patient ‘phone line.
