Collaborative Approaches for Cancer Control: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Society
As a dentist specialising in oral pathology, I have been privileged to collaborate with associations and professionals from diverse backgrounds to raise awareness about cancer. I will discuss my experiences in raising awareness of cancer and share insights from my participation in university events, workshops, and media interviews aimed at promoting cancer awareness. This presentation aims to illustrate how professionals from diverse disciplines can unite to offer vital support to cancer patients. Additionally, it will showcase effective methods of conveying our expertise to medical professionals and the general public and how science communication can take different forms while still delivering the same message.
