Dr. Pawan Gupta, Director of Surgical Oncology HN, MAX Institute of Cancer Care – EZ and Founder of ICanCaRe was invited as Keynote Speaker at the 44th Annual Conference of the UP Chapter of Indian Dental Association at Moradabad from 16-17th December 2022.
The topic was “DEFINING A DENTAL ONCOLOGIST”
It is an honour to be invited to deliver a talk at an august gathering of Dental surgeons of Uttar Pradesh. There were young dentists looking for opportunities and experienced dental surgeons willing to collaborate.
Dr. Pawan emphasized the ever-increasing role of dental surgeons in the management of oral cancers which includes prevention, prophylaxis, diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and pre-malignant lesion management.
A dental surgeon has to be an integral part of all oral cancer management protocols to improve the quality of life of these patients.
Besides dental and oral care is required for all patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Patients from other departments also require their patients to have oral care and management.
Dr. Pawan Gupta narrated the recent poster presentation at the IASO of the midterm conference about the MAX – ICanCaRe oral care and tobacco cessation center where the results of cessation and patient satisfaction were substantially higher, and also the outcome of the primary treatment improved for these patients. Such centers are a must for all sizeable multidiscipline hospitals and also for cancer centers.
TRISCaRe instrument was also demonstrated to the audience which was much appreciated and generated demand.
He emphasized that it is two-way learning between oncologists and dental surgeons.
It is time IDA and ICanCaRe collaborate for a better outcome and also job opportunities for the coming generations of dental surgeons.
