Oral cancer is a devastating disease that affects millions worldwide, yet it often goes undetected until it reaches an advanced stage. Despite advancements in medical and dental technology, survival rates remain low due to late diagnosis, inadequate screening, and gaps in interdisciplinary care. This comprehensive course is designed to equip healthcare professionals—including dentists, physicians, oncologists, nurses, and allied health providers—with the knowledge and skills necessary to detect, diagnose, and manage oral cancer at every stage.  

This course moves beyond the basics, covering aspects of oral cancer that are often overlooked, including oral-systemic links, documentation of lesions, staging and treatment planning, and new technology. Additionally, it delves into the patient experience, addressing critical topics such as diet, wound care, burn care, and the role of exercise in cancer recovery. Mental health and grief, both for patients and healthcare providers, are also key components of this curriculum, ensuring a holistic understanding of cancer care.  

Participants will engage with real-world case studies, expert-led discussions, and hands-on applications to develop a deeper understanding of oral cancer and its far-reaching impact. This course is designed to bridge the gap between dentistry and medicine, fostering collaboration that enhances patient outcomes and improves survival rates.
