NEW YORK—During the 91st annual Greater New York Dental Meeting, the event’s organizers will be hosting the first International Oral Cancer Symposium on Saturday, November 28th for all registered Greater New York Dental Meeting attendees.

The all-day event, entitled “The Science and Practice of Treating Head and Neck Cancer,” provides a comprehensive overview of the current surgical and medical management of oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients. Diagnostic criteria and rehabilitative medicine as well as guidelines for oral cancer management will be discussed by leading experts in otolaryngology, pathology, craniofacial surgery, oncology and maxillofacial prosthetics.

“Oral cancer still remains the sixth leading form of cancer, despite recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer. We hope this international symposium will help dental professionals connect the dots between the latest research and what they can be implementing in their day-to-day practices to reduce the mortality rates of this deadly disease.”  said Dr. Ian M. Lerner, general chairman of the Greater New York Dental Meeting,

The Oral Cancer Symposium will cover the following areas:

The guidelines for oral cancer management and the role of the community dentists and otolaryngologists in the management regimen.
