NSU Professor Organizes Oral Cancer Walk
Khadine Alston, D.D.S., an assistant professor at Nova Southeastern University’s College of Dental Medicine’s Department of Cariology and Restorative Dentistry, organized the 1st Annual Oral Cancer Awareness Walk-A-Thon on Apr. 14. The event, which took place at the Central Broward Regional Park, was well attended and raised money for oral cancer awareness and research through The Truth Outreach Project.
In most cases, oral cancer is readily detectable and it is treatable if found in its early stages. It is the seventh leading cancer in the U.S., and dentists recommend that oral cancer exams should be done annually. The walk was covered by local media and broadcasted nationally.
