The College of Dentistry at the University of Basrah prepared an awareness brochure about oral cancer, which was distributed to the patients.
The student Benin Fadel, Anfal Ali, Hala Hussein and Alaa Riyad took care of organizing and distributing its information under the supervision of Dr. Sorour Ali.
The brochure contained information and pictures showing the causes and risk factors for oral cancer and urging people to prevent it by refraining from smoking, drinking alcohol, exposure to the sun, and regularly visiting the dentist.
The brochure included a presentation of the treatment methods that are used in the case of cancer of the oral cavity, such as radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy and immunotherapy.
The purpose of preparing this brochure is to emphasize the importance of expediting the examinations, which in turn reduce the impact of the disease.
