What's misleading in the article is that OC screening is *not* a test, it's a visual exam that dentists should provide at cleaning time. The article lists Oral Cancer under the bold banner "Avoid these screenings" and the cover page "gotcha" reads "3 Cancer Tests You Need Plus 8 You Don't."

Dr. John Santa from Consumer Reports was on the CBS Morning Show today talking up this article. Incidentally, in Feb '12 CR ran an article regarding the "Ballooning Risk" of HPV/Cancer http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/consumer-reports-magazine-february-2012/HPV/index.htm ...as the doctor who wrote it works with Santa, it mystifies me as to why a simple screening for OC made their list.
