The oral cavity is one of the important goals of oncology treatment, with serious consequences on the quality of life, both related to oral health and our general health. Dental problems can be effectively prevented before starting chemotherapy or radiotherapy, but can also be easily treated during treatment. Preventive oral support measures must be implemented before treatment, just as continuous monitoring and subsequent early treatment of symptoms; otherwise treatment can end up being painful, difficult to treat and with adverse chronic effects.
Therefore "I do not neglect my mouth and I learn to take care of it properly".
Dr. Ourania Nikolatou-Galiti is a Dentist, Professor of EKPA, Scientific Director of CureCancer - mycancer.gr, which has a mission of supportive care. CureCancer - mycancer.gr was recently selected and is included in the action of the Ministry of Development and Investment - Secretariat for Research and Technology Elevate Greece.
