Our Purpose

The purpose of the International Society of Oral Oncology (ISOO) is to promote scientific exchange among health care professionals in oncology about cytotoxic therapy and its impact on the oral environment (including tissues, health and function). The Society provides a multidisciplinary forum for scientists and clinicians to focus on the following areas:

• Concepts associated with oral consequences of antineoplastic therapy
• Novel strategies germane to cancer research
• Educational pursuits related to cancer and oral morbidity associated with cancer therapy
• Scientific diversity through collaboration
