How I fell in love with dental & medical training/surgical oncology:
Over the past 30 to 50 years, there has been little change to survival outcomes in head and neck malignant disease. But diagnostic and reconstructive techniques have helped the survivors to a better quality of life. This challenge to improve outcomes interests me.
