At this time heredity has not been scientifically proven to be link to a cause for oral cancer. I would suggest you read some info and try not to worry so much. Worrying will NOT help you at all, it will only make you feel worse. Here are a couple good links from the main OCF pages to read to help you understand more about oral cancer and cancer centers. The center you have gone to may be ok for other illnesses but if you want the best treatment facility for oral cancer then I suggest checking out the cancer center list on the link below. Comparing a local hospital to a cancer center is kinda like comparing a corner store to a grocery store. the corner store may be ok for small items but for bigger things go to the bigger place where they have everything. Diagnosis Info Oral Cancer Treatment Cancer Centers Best wishes!!!
