🦷WILL YOU DEVELOP ORAL CANCER? Researchers at HKU Faculty of Dentistry in collaboration with Queen Mary Hospital and James Cook University have developed an AI-based web platform that can automatically predict the risk of oral cavity cancer occurrence for up to 20 years following diagnosis. Oral cancer progression normally varies from 0.4% to 40.8% and may take many years to monitor. Find out more at go.hku.hk/pr24370
