The Consortium “Etiology and Pathogenesis of Oral Cancer in Young Adults” was established in 2022 on the basis of the Cancer Research Institute of the Tomsk National Research Medical Center. The Consortium aim is to reveal the causes and mechanisms of oral cancer origin and recurrence in young adults and develop new diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic approaches.
The partners are implementing joint research projects and creating a joint of biological samples and a register of clinical and pathological parameters of young adults with oral cancer.
