There was a series of informative talks by distinguished speakers including the head and neck surgeon, oral and maxillofacial prosthodontist and social workers. The aim was to create awareness and educate the public and healthcare providers. There was a display of posters detailing the risk factors, signs and symptoms of head and neck cancers. Examination and screening was done utilizing VELSCOPE diagnostic aid and biopsies were conducted wherever necessary. Early detection is key in treatment survival.
