April General Membership Meeting with Paras Patel, DDS - Virtual

As oral cancer has received more publicity over recent decades, partly due to the evidence of Human Papillomavirus infection and its relationship to oropharyngeal cancer, the oral healthcare provider should feel comfortable about educating and discussing these topics with their patients. Our discussion will provide a brief overview of the statistics and predicted rates of both oral and orophayngeal cancer. We will go into brief detail about what populations are at risk as well as discuss the risk factors that contribute to the development of oral cancer. Additionally and most importantly, we will identify the clinical characteristics of oral potentially malignant disorders and malignant lesions.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Understand the basic concepts that contribute to the development of oral cancer
• Identify individuals at high risk for the development of oral potentially malignant disorders and oral cancers
• Identify oral potentially malignant disorders and lesions suspicious for oral cancer
