Mashhad College of Dentistry was established in 1966. Since the
foundation of the University, over 3000 dentists have graduated. The
area in which the cancer patients were identified (eastern provinces:
north, Razavi and south Khorasan and Sistan and Baluchestan)
comprises population about 7,500,000, and all head and neck cancer
patients of this area are supposedly referred to Mashhad College of
Dentistry(MCD). Oral cancer is among the most important health
concerns in the world. Despite advances in diagnostic approaches and
treatment modalities, the survival rate is still low. In Iran, survival rate
for all cancer types is 30%. This educational opportunity is provided by
the group organizer for better understanding of different aspects of
oral cancer diagnosis and treatment. For an optimum learning
experience, sessions are limited to a maximum of 10 participants. The
dentists will acquire knowledge and skills to provide advance level care
for patients with oral cancer and precancerous lesions.
