Surgeons in Australia and overseas have identified a rise in the number of women being diagnosed with mouth cancer. Even more unusual is that those diagnosed are not presenting with traditional risk factors. 9News | Nightly at 6.00pm

Head and neck surgeons say more women are being diagnosed with mouth cancer and research is underway to help unravel what's fuelling the alarming trend.

"A lot of research at the moment at our institutions is being done to try and identify exactly what is happening and why," Dr Palme said."She was 18 she presented with an ulcer at the right side of her tongue which was initially thought to be a benign traumatic ulcer and she ended up having a stage three tongue cancer," he said.

Doctors at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse are now routinely using innovative approaches to remove and rebuild a patient's jaw to help cure their cancer. The Lifehouse team created a 3D model of Ms Flannery's jaw which enabled them to virtually map out her complex operation.

Biloela child 'diagnosed with pneumonia'Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews has said the government is "investigating a range of resettlement options", as campaigners said the child flown to Perth from detention on Christmas Island now has pneumonia. Why doesn't the old man take her back to Sri Lanka on 9ne of his holidays? He's been back a few times in fear of his life 🙄 This is absolutely disgraceful, this poor family has been through so much. Time for Scotty from marketing to step up, show Australia he does have a pulse and send this family home to Bilo. Media sensationalism at its best !! Plenty more pressing matters to be making headlines !! Their parents were illegal immigrants, and must return to their homes and re apply through the correct channels.
