Current Oncology | National Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer Awareness Month
National Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer Awareness Month in April is a dedicated period to raise awareness about the risks, prevention, and early detection of oral, head, and neck cancers. Throughout this month, various educational campaigns, screenings, and initiatives are organized to promote understanding, encourage regular check-ups, and emphasize the importance of timely intervention in combating these potentially life-threatening diseases. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all of the researchers who have contributed to this field. In particular, we would like to share some of the innovative research findings and a high-quality Special Issue in the field of oral, head, and neck cancer, published in Current Oncology (ISSN: 1718-7729).
