Oral Cancer Week

We are proud to present our new project called First student symposium: The Story of Oral Cancer – meet and recognize! The aim of the project is to familiarize students of biomedical fields with the basics of diagnosis and therapy of cancer of the oral cavity, head and neck. In addition to students of dentistry, this project is intended for all students of biomedical faculties (Medicine, Pharmacy-Biochemistry, University of Health, Education-Rehabilitation, Faculty of Chemical Engineering, etc.) As students of dentistry and future doctors of dental medicine, we are one of the first who in daily practice can recognize oral cancer at an early stage and thus start treating it in time. In addition to several lectures held by dental students, this project will be supported by eminent experts from our University in the fields of oral medicine, oral surgery, maxillofacial surgery, pathology, otorhinolaryngology/head and neck surgery, oncology, immunology, epidemiology, who will through lectures and educational materials transfer your rich experience and knowledge to younger colleagues. Respecting epidemiological measures, we plan to organize preventive examinations of citizens at School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb. Higher year students (5th and 6th) will examine oral cavity with their mentors, doctors from the Department of Oral Medicine. The goal of this part of the project is to encourage and encourage citizens to be examined in order to detect potentially malignant changes in time, as well as to provide opportunities for students to gain more clinical experience.

We look forward to your response!
