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.
