Course Title: Foods that fight Cancer
Lecture: 4 Clinical Hours
| Course Description |
Research suggests that nearly 50% of all cancers are preventable and related to our lifestyles with 30% of cancers attributed to dietary factors. But food can work in our favor, to reduce our risk of cancer IF we eat the right foods, prepared in the right way. In this session, several different food families and their anti-cancer phytochemicals will be discussed. We will also discuss the most common mechanisms by which these foods fight cancer. Findings from cancer research focusing on chemoprevention of particular foods will be discussed. Tips from research about how to prepare these foods to preserve maximum potency of the important cancer fighting phytochemicals in the foods will be shared. Current dietary recommendations for cancer prevention from the World Health Organization and the American Institute of Cancer Research will be discussed. Resources will be shared to help participants continue learning even after this session.
- Describe the mechanisms by which certain foods fight cancer
- Define polyphenols and phytochemicals
- List the phytochemicals and foods that research has found to be protective against
cancer
- Describe evidenced based preparation tips that will help preserve cancer fighting
phytochemicals in foods

Course Title: Oral Health Risks and Cultural Habits
Lecture: 4 Clinical Hours
Course Description:
Defend Your Patients Against Oral Cancer
We see a broad mix of people from global cultures as patients in our dental practices. Do you know the specific cultural health risks and habits that can cause oral diseases and cancer?
Oral disease is not only epidemic in some parts of the resource-poor world, but also shockingly prevalent in our resource-rich, affluent world. The work of the oral health provider is more important than ever due to global trends and the alarming rise in oral cancer incidence rates. Oral health professionals are in the best position to notice mucosal changes that may be pre-cancerous or cancerous and make the patient aware of them. Those discoveries may save patients’ lives.
This course raises oral health professionals’ awareness of unique risks associated with widespread cultural and social oral habits, such as chewing betel nut, khat, smokeless tobacco, and using coca leaf or kola nut. Understanding the social and cultural context of these practices is integral to helping patients alleviate and overcome adverse effects on oral health, human wellness, and global health. This course illustrates how culturally homogenous but geographically dispersed populations can have a profound effect on local dental practices as people migrate worldwide.
Make global connection and knowledge transfer about oral cancer, disease prevention, and oral health your superpower as you promote overall health. Participants will be powerfully engaged with graphic images and videos from 15 years of global research on cultural oral habits, with a specific focus on research based in Vietnam. Participant interaction is invited regarding the crisis in oral health in the dental practice and to motivate preventive solutions.
Describe the benefits of awareness of oral cancer to both patient and provider Recognize the cultures which exhibit high oral risk behaviors and what those behaviors are Explain the results achieved through increased awareness of cultural risk habits Demonstrate skills and competence when seeing patients for oral exams to detect oral lesions Create a professional development plan to continue to learn and implement the awareness of global trends in oral cancer.
Course Objectives:
1. Describe the benefits of awareness of oral cancer to both patient and provider
2. Recognize the cultures which exhibit high oral risk behaviors and what those behaviors are
3. Explain the results achieved through increased awareness of cultural risk habits
4. Demonstrate skills and competence when seeing patients for oral exams to detect oral lesions
5. Create a professional development plan to continue to learn and implement the awareness of global trends in oral cancer
Shery has presented her master’s research study of cultural oral habits in Asia and the global risks of oral cancer in Scotland, Brazil, Vietnam, Dubai, USA and Canada. Sherry has been honored and awarded for her oral cancer study in Vietnam with the prestigious “World Dental Hygiene Award in Research” sponsored by the SUNSTAR Foundation for Oral Health Promotion in collaboration with the International Federation of Dental Hygienists and the International Journal of Dental Hygiene. She was presented with the award at the International Symposium on Dental Hygiene in Scotland in 2010.
