The officers and the governing council of the International Academy of Oral Oncology, were delighted to welcome delegates from 29 countries and all continents to London in October 2007 for the first Continuing Professional Development day of the Academy entitled Oral Cancer - Challenges and Solutions.

The education, training and research committees of the academy are working feverishly to accomplish their tasks at hand.

The conference chairmen, Professor Alexander Rapidis and Professor Crispian Scully, assisted by an outstanding scientific program committee, put together an educational, informative, and interesting progamme including keynote addresses by world experts, panel discussions, debates on controversial issues and proffered papers selected from submitted abstracts.
