How Are We Tackling Oral Cancer? With Our Very Own App & Vaccine

Oral cancer is one of the most treatable cancers if it’s detected and treated early. But with its signs and symptoms easily mistaken for other conditions how can we improve diagnosis of oral cancer? What if I told you that we have an app for that? To share more about the MeMoSA app and how it will be tested in the community setting, we are joined by Prof Dr Cheong Sok Ching, deputy chief scientific officer with Cancer Research Malaysia.
