CME on Head and Neck cancer was organized on 14th November, 2010 by Regional Cancer Centre, JIPMER. The recent increase in the incidence of head and neck cancer is
alarming. The worldwide incidence exceeds half a million cases annually.
Over one third of all cancers in India occur in the head and neck. The
primary reason for this unusually high incidence is the indiscriminate
use of tobacco in its various forms. This CME is designed to foster
discussions on the management principles, screening methodology, the
challenges and the latest developments in the field of head and neck cancer, so as to provide the delegates a comprehensive review of the subject. |
