背景。马里兰州口腔癌和咽喉癌的死亡率在男性中排名第七，在非裔美国男性中排名第三。作为全州需求评估的一部分，在马里兰州普通牙医的邮件调查之后，进行了焦点小组调查，以获得更多深入的信息，了解为什么牙医不为大多数患者提供全面的口腔癌检查，以及如何从牙医的角度解决这个问题。一位训练有素的焦点主持人主持了全科医生小组。五：两组出现的主要主题：不准确的癌症检查知识，何时以及如何触诊异常；考试;和建议问题。结论。焦点小组就如何最好地为牙医提供有关口腔癌预防和早期发现的继续教育提供了丰富的意见来源。与会者亦就需要提高公众对口腔癌的认识及预防口腔癌发表意见。临床意义。牙医需要为所有合适的病人进行全面的口腔癌检查，作为例行口腔检查的一部分。

Five: major themes emerged from the two groups: inaccurate knowledge cancer examinations when and how to palpate for abnormalities; examinations; and recommendations issues.Conclusions.
