Call for papers: Oral Oncology I - Update in Epidemiology,Prevention and Diagnosis

This special issue explores barriers to early diagnosis, prognostic assessment, and treatment optimization in the context of oral cancer. It elucidates challenges encompassing health literacy, vulnerable patient cohorts, and the consequences of tobacco and alcohol consumption, among other topics. By examining these difficulties, we endeavour to augment comprehension of oral cancer risk factors, improve preventive strategies, accelerate early detection, and improve treatment outcomes, contributing to the global mitigation of oral cancer¿s impact. This special edition also serves as a pipeline for collaborative research and innovative management modalities, driving advancements in the domain of oral oncology.
