Rui Amaral Mendes: Porto Awaits You – 4th Global Oral Cancer Forum Set for May 2028

Rui Amaral Mendes, Professor of the Department of Community Medicine, Information and Health Decision Sciences at Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“This weekend I had the pleasure of giving one of the invited opening lectures at the 3rd Global Oral Cancer Forum, held at Kaohsiung Medical University, on the topic: “Navigating AI in OPMD Diagnosis and Trajectories to Malignancy.”

After two previous successful meetings held in New York and Kuala Lumpur, the third edition, co-chaired by three renowned, long-time colleagues – Saman Warnakulasuriya from King’s College London, A. Ross Kerr from New York University, and WM Tilakaratne from the University of Malaya – was brilliantly organised by my distinguished colleagues Yi-Hsin Yang (Connie Yang), from the National Institute of Cancer Research, National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan, and Li-Tzong Chen, from the Center for Cancer Research, Kaohsiung Medical University.

The meeting brought together a multidisciplinary group of oral cancer researchers – pathologists, geneticists, oral and head and neck surgeons, and oral medicine specialists – for an insightful and groundbreaking discussion of the most recent developments in prevention and screening, diagnosis, and treatment of Oral Cancer.

On this note, I couldn’t be happier to announce and welcome the 4th Global Oral Cancer Forum (GOCF), which will be hosted by the Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto.

Save the date: 26-28 May 2028. Porto awaits you.”
