New video to mark World Oral Health Day 2025

Dr Harriet Rumgay and Dr Shama Virani of the Oral Cancer Team at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) present the causes, burden, and symptoms of oral cancer in a new video to mark World Oral Health Day 2025.

Dr Rumgay and Dr Virani lead some of the IARC research projects that examine risk factors and prevention programmes for oral cancer.

Which risk factors are most impactful and which prevention programmes are most effective can vary by population. The IARC Oral Cancer Team is calling on researchers around the world to join their collaboration and amplify the research done by all partners so that they can understand, tackle, and prevent oral cancer in all settings as quickly as possible.
