Message from the Organizing Chairman

Dr Noorul Anwar

It gives me immense pleasure to invite you to IOCCON 2026 – the International Oral Cancer & Oral Oncology Conference, a focused academic platform dedicated to advancing excellence in oral oncology.

Oral cancer remains a major global health challenge, particularly in regions with high disease burden. Rapid advancements in early diagnosis, molecular biology, multidisciplinary treatment, and survivorship care demand continuous academic engagement and collaborative thinking. IOCCON 2026 is designed to address these evolving needs through evidence-based discussions and shared global expertise.

The conference will bring together dental and medical specialists, head & neck surgeons, oncologists, researchers, academicians, public health experts, and policy stakeholders to exchange knowledge, present research, and explore innovative solutions aimed at improving patient outcomes.

IOCCON 2026 is more than a scientific meeting—it is a collective commitment toward prevention, early detection, comprehensive care, and research-driven progress in oral cancer.

I warmly invite you to register, participate, and contribute to IOCCON 2026, and be a part of shaping the future of oral oncology.
