Don't hold your tongue—let's talk about oral cancer

Join the College of Science Alumni Chapter for the second installment of our Science Matters Webinar Series in recognition of Oral Cancer Awareness Month. This panel discussion will feature Sara Glass, Ida Kondori, and Michelle Williams, who will explore risk factors, warning signs, statistics, and treatment options for oral cancer, including cases that present without obvious symptoms. Experts will also discuss the impact of coexisting medical conditions, community outreach, and the importance of early detection and diagnosis. Discover how research and emerging technologies are shaping the future of oral cancer prevention and treatment.
