• Oral Cancer Answers with Eva Grayzel

  Eva Grayzel⁠, a professional interactive performance artist, was diagnosed with late-stage oral cancer at age 33 and told she had a 15 percent chance of survival. A non-smoker, she was bounced among dental professionals while the ulcer on her tongue grew more prominent and painful. “My first biopsy was misread by a general pathologist as hyperkeratosis, when in fact it was moderate dysplasia which had a chance of turning into cancer. I didn’t know there were ⁠specialists in pathology⁠, nor did I know that biopsies are not 100% definitive. It was two years and nine months from the first biopsy until the day I was finally diagnosed with late-stage oral cancer. During that time, bouncing back and forth between my dental practice and oral surgeons, no one EVER mentioned the words ‘oral cancer’ as a possible cause. Finally, I made an appointment with ⁠Dr. Mark Urken⁠, head and neck surgery chief at Mt. Sinai Hospital. I took the bus into Manhattan on the fateful day of April 1, 1998, not having the slightest idea that what was on my tongue was remotely serious.” Eva endured the removal of 1/3 of her tongue, a partial tongue reconstruction, a modified radical neck dissection, and a maximum dose of radiation therapy. Through an extraordinarily successful treatment plan, Eva not only survived but also regained her ability to speak clearly. With a second chance at life, Eva couldn’t let the same thing happen to someone else. A champion for early detection, Eva founded Six-Step Screening™, an oral cancer awareness campaign for dental professionals and the general public. The ⁠American Academy of Oral Medicine⁠ recognized her initiative and awarded ⁠her honorary membership⁠. “I share ⁠my personal story⁠ , hoping it will inspire dental and healthcare professionals to perform oral cancer screenings on all their patients and educate them about what they are looking for and the early signs of oral cancer. It’s more than my mission to educate. It’s my tribute to all those who came before me and my obligation to those who will follow.” Eva celebrated her 10th cancer-free anniversary by founding ⁠Talk4Hope⁠ , which includes two ⁠children’s books⁠ to promote dialogue and minimize fear around cancer, and ⁠My Story Legacy⁠, a 12-page guide to document personal stories, a gift as valuable as material possessions.
