| INVITATION LETTER |
Dear Colleagues and Friends, it is a great honor and a true pleasure for us to invite you, on behalf of the National Organizing Committee, to the 11th International Congress on Oral Cancer (ICOOC), that will be held in Grado, Italy, between the 14th and the 17th May 2006. Starting from the wonderful 20 years experience gathered in the ten previous ICOOC Congresses, which were successfully held in India, Japan, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil and Greece with delegates participation from nearly 100 countries, we are now engaged in organizing a rich and interdisciplinary Congress with the intent to discuss about all the different specialistic problems involved in oral cancer. Oral oncology has been taking long and important steps forward during these last few years: not only surgical and combined therapy, but also basic biology, histopathology, diagnostic approach, reconstruction and rehabilitation, nursing care and ethics showed extensive new knowledge and advances which are now forcing all the professionals to brush their knowledge up costantly. Moreover, scientifical and ethical evolutions are now leading to a new way of approaching oral cancer, not only by an extensive multidisciplinary approach and teamwork, but also on a patient-oriented base. We hope that the 11th ICOOC will be a valued chance to increase, stimulate and update the awareness of the multidisciplinarity and inclusive approach in oral oncology and we hope that a great number of Colleagues and Friends will join us in this conference. Grado with its outskirts offers a lot for rest and recreation and represents an added value to the scientific dimension of the conference. Its blue sea and golden beach, its historical background, its archeological and artistic treasures, its oeno-gastronomical traditions, its closeness to the “magic” city of Venice will surely attract and delight all participants during recreational moments. We have already started our organization work to offer You not only a successful 11th International Congress on Oral Cancer, but also a wonderful touristic experience in one of the most appreciated Italian Regions. We hope that the wonderful mix of a rich scientific program and a tempting touristic offer will attract you to the 11th ICOOC. We are looking forward to welcoming You in Grado. With warmest regards, |
| Honorary Chairman Prof. Fausto Badellino Genova, Italy |
Chairman Dr. Marco Piemonte Udine, Italy |
Co-Chairman Prof. G. Cortesina Torino, Italy |
