Abstract
Oral cancer is a significant health concern worldwide, with high morbidity and mortality rates. The management of oral cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach involving dentistry, radiology, and nursing to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Collaborative care among these specialties has shown promising results in improving patient outcomes and quality of life. This review article aims to explore the impact of collaborative care on patient outcomes in oral cancer management, focusing on the synergistic contributions of dentistry, radiology, and nursing.The review will first discuss the current landscape of oral cancer management and the challenges faced by patients and healthcare providers. It will then delve into the role of dentistry in oral cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment planning, highlighting the importance of early detection and comprehensive dental care in improving patient outcomes. The contribution of radiology in imaging modalities for assessing tumor characteristics, staging, and treatment response will also be examined.Furthermore, the review will explore the vital role of nursing in providing holistic care, symptom management, and patient education throughout the oral cancer treatment journey. The collaborative efforts of dentists, radiologists, and nurses in coordinating care, facilitating communication, and addressing the psychosocial needs of patients will be emphasized.In addition, this review will analyze the existing literature on the effectiveness of collaborative care models in oral cancer management, including multidisciplinary tumor boards, care coordination programs, and patient-centered approaches. The impact of collaborative care on patient satisfaction, treatment adherence, survival rates, and quality of life will be critically evaluated.Overall, this review aims to provide valuable insights into the benefits of collaborative care in oral cancer management and underscore the importance of interdisciplinary teamwork in achieving optimal patient outcomes. By highlighting the synergies among dentistry, radiology, and nursing, this article seeks to inform healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers on the best practices for enhancing patient care in oral cancer management.
