OralCheck

What it does

Oral cancer has an 84% five-year survival rate when caught early — but most people haven't thought about their risk. OralCheck is a free, private 10-question screener built on published risk data from the American Cancer Society, NCI, and the Oral Cancer Foundation. No account. No tracking. Everything stays on your device. Results tell you your risk tier and point you toward affordable care: Health centers, dental schools, and free clinics near you. Built by a predental student at UW-Madison.

A few short questions to understand your oral cancer risk. Free, private, takes 2 minutes.

Oral cancer is one of the most underdiagnosed cancers, largely because early symptoms look ordinary. OralCheck helps you understand your risk in minutes and points you toward care. Short, specific questions based on published clinical risk factors. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere. Red and white patches, non-healing sores, lumps. Learn what to look for and how to do a self-exam. Community health centers, dental schools, and free clinics near you, including HRSA-funded providers. Only about 1 in 4 oral and pharyngeal cancers is found before it spreads. Caught at that stage, five-year survival is 88.7%. Once it reaches distant sites, 36%. Most people who need this will never search for it. A…from oralcheck.org

  I've created a site about Bone Marrow Donation2012 · cheekswab.org · ▲120

  Hi HN,<p>I've posted a couple times here before (mostly within posts pertaining to Amit Gupta's search for a bone marrow donor) and I wanted to share a site I've been working on for the past 5 months or so that recently went live. I'm going on my fifth year of being an Acute Myelogenous Leukemia survivor, and while I didn't need a bone marrow transplant myself at one point it was a very real possibility. At that time I became aware of the lack of minority bone marrow donors and made a promise to myself to try to do something about it if I were to survive. This site is something of a…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
