Oral Oncology is an international interdisciplinary journal which publishes high quality original research, clinical trials and
review articles, editorials, and commentaries relating to the etiopathogenesis, epidemiology, prevention, clinical features, diagnosis,
treatment and management of patients with neoplasms in the head and neck.
Oral Oncology is of interest to head and neck
surgeons, radiation and medical oncologists, maxillo-facial surgeons, oto-rhino-laryngologists, plastic surgeons, pathologists, scientists,
oral medical specialists, special care dentists, dental care professionals, general dental practitioners, public health physicians, palliative
care physicians, nurses, radiologists, radiographers, dieticians, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, nutritionists,
clinical and health psychologists and counselors, professionals in end of life care, as well as others interested in these fields.
Basic, translational, or clinical Research or Review papers of high quality and that make a contribution to new knowledge are invited
on the following aspects of neoplasms arising in the head and neck (including lip, tongue, oral cavity, oropharynx, salivary glands,
sinuses, nose, nasopharynx, larynx, skull base, thyroid, and craniofacial region, and the related hard and soft tissues and lymph nodes):
• Etiopathogenesis: natural history of cancer and pre-cancer; basic pathology, metastatic mechanisms; genetic changes; cellular
and molecular changes; microorganisms; growth factors, adhesion and other molecules
• Epidemiology; risk factors; biomarkers;
protective factors; geographic factors; prevention; screening and intervention
• Clinical features; orofacial effects of neoplasms
at both local and distant sites; tumor staging and grading
• Diagnosis; detection of cancer and pre-cancer; cellular and molecular
markers for diagnosis; advances in imaging and other functional diagnostic modalities for cancer and pre-cancer
• Management
and Prognosis; clinical, cellular and molecular markers for prognosis; treatment options including surgical, lasers, photodynamic therapy,
cryosurgery, micro- vascular and other forms of surgery, medical, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biological and gene therapy
advances; molecular targets and new therapeutics (new cytotonics and molecular-targeted therapies); multimodality treatment; advances
in reconstruction and rehabilitation, including flaps and grafts, alloplasty, bone and connective tissue biology; multidisciplinary teamwork
in cancer care and oral health care.
• Quality of life issues; issues of consent; psychosocial aspects; patient and health
professional information; patient involvement; psychological interventions, improving outcomes; the prevention, diagnosis and management
