Essential Knowledge of Oral Cancer in Current Dental Practice
Presented by Dr. Ioannis Gkikas
The most common cancer affecting the mouth is the squamous cell carcinoma. It is likely that most dentists working in primary care will see only a few in their careers but missing one can be catastrophic for the patient as the earlier it is diagnosed and treated the better the prognosis.
The aim of this presentation is to give all the necessary knowledge that a modern dentist should have instead of be able not only diagnose the oral cancer but also adapt daily dental practice on oral cancer patient's needs.
Objectives:
To become familiar with clinical presentation and differential diagnosis of oral cancer.
To understand the importance of early diagnosis and contemporary screening models of oral cancer.
To update their knowledge in staging system of oral cancer, current treatment modalities, and finally understand the factors affecting survival.
To know how and when an oral cancer patient receives a dental treatment in their offices and of course all the specific features related to oral cancer patients.

PORTS OF CALL
Athens (Piraeus), Greece
Athens is a metropolis where the foundations of Western civilization are not merely stored in museums but are woven into the chaotic, vibrant fabric of daily life. As the capital of Greece and a primary Mediterranean embarkation hub, it offers a profound context for the voyage ahead. However, Athens is also a dense, sprawling city that can be overwhelming without a plan. Arriving at least one or two days prior to embarkation is not just a safeguard against flight delays; it is necessary to properly experience a city that requires patience to appreciate fully.
Logistics: Arrival and Accommodation
Upon landing at Athens International Airport (ATH), the journey to the city center takes approximately 40 to 60 minutes. While the Metro (Line 3) is efficient and affordable, it can be crowded. For travelers with cruise luggage, a pre-booked private transfer or a taxi is often the wiser choice to avoid navigating stairs and crowds in the summer heat.
Regarding accommodation, a critical distinction must be made: Piraeus is the port, but Athens is the destination. Piraeus is a bustling industrial hub with limited touristic appeal beyond the harbor itself. To maximize your experience, book a hotel in central Athens—specifically in the Plaka, Monastiraki, or Koukaki neighborhoods. These areas place you within walking distance of the major archaeological sites and the best dining, allowing you to immerse yourself in the city's atmosphere immediately.
Day 1: The Acropolis and The Old City
Your first morning should be dedicated to the Acropolis. The strategy here is simple: go early. Arriving at the entrance by 8:00 AM allows you to ascend the sacred rock before the midday heat and the heaviest crowds arrive. Standing before the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Propylaea offers a humbling perspective on human achievement. The view of the sprawling white city against the Aegean Sea is spectacular.
Descend directly to the Acropolis Museum. This modern architectural gem provides the necessary context for what you have just seen, housing the original Caryatids and the Parthenon Marbles in a space flooded with natural light. It is a masterclass in making ancient history accessible.
Spend your afternoon in the Plaka. While parts of it cater heavily to tourists, it remains the most charming district for aimless wandering. Seek out the Anafiotika neighborhood, a tiny cluster of whitewashed houses built by islanders from Anafi, which feels like a Cycladic village hidden beneath the Acropolis. For dinner, look for rooftop dining in Monastiraki to watch the Parthenon illuminate at dusk—a sight that never loses its power.
Day 2: Democracy, Markets, and Modern Life
Begin your second day at the Ancient Agora. Often less crowded than the Acropolis, this was the actual heart of public life where Socrates taught and democracy was debated. The Temple of Hephaestus here is among the best-preserved Doric temples in Greece.
From the quiet of the Agora, transition to the noise of the Monastiraki Flea Market. It is a sensory overload of antiques, vinyl records, and souvenirs that showcases the city's commercial spirit. A short walk leads to Syntagma Square to witness the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a ceremony of precision and tradition.
For your final pre-cruise meal, venture into Psiri. This neighborhood has transformed from a working-class district into a hub of nightlife and gastronomy. It offers excellent tavernas serving authentic meze—grilled octopus, fava, and lamb chops—often accompanied by live Rembetika music.
Embarkation Day
On the day of departure, allow ample time to reach the Port of Piraeus. Traffic in Athens is unpredictable. A taxi or private transfer from the city center typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. By arriving in Athens early, you step onto your ship not as a weary traveler rushing from the airport, but as an acclimated explorer, already enriched by the history and culture of this enduring city.
Hydra, Greece
Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos serves as the archetype of the Cyclades: blinding white cubic architecture set against the deep blue Aegean. While the island’s reputation rests on its glitzy nightlife, the daytime experience offers a distinct, sophisticated charm if navigated correctly. Your priority should be the labyrinthine Chora (Mykonos Town). We advise disembarking early to beat the midday crush. The winding, whitewashed streets were originally designed to confuse pirates; today, they offer a delightful aimlessness. Allow yourself to wander off the busy Matoyianni Street to discover quieter corners, hidden chapels, and bougainvillea-draped balconies where the island’s authentic character remains.
Navigate toward the waterfront to witness the iconic Kato Mili (windmills) standing sentinel on the hill. Just below lies Little Venice, where medieval houses with colorful balconies hover directly over the sea. It is the prime location for a coffee or cocktail, though be prepared for premium pricing that reflects the world-class view.
For our clients with a deep interest in history, Mykonos is the gateway to something far more significant: Delos. A short ferry ride away, this UNESCO World Heritage site is the mythological birthplace of Apollo and Artemis and one of the most important archaeological sites in the Mediterranean. If you prioritize ancient history over high-end shopping, a guided excursion here is non-negotiable.
If a beach day is preferred, manage your expectations regarding crowds and cost. The famous Paradise Beach is high-energy; for a more refined, family-friendly atmosphere, Ornos or Platis Gialos are superior choices, accessible via local bus or water taxi. Finally, a logistical note: if your ship docks at the New Port (Tourlos) rather than tendering, the local SeaBus is the most efficient transfer to the town center, bypassing the often-gridlocked taxi queues.
Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey
While Kusadasi serves as a pleasant, modern resort town, its primary significance for the traveler is its role as the gateway to Ephesus. This is not merely a collection of ruins; it is one of the best-preserved ancient metropolises in the Mediterranean, rivaling Pompeii in its ability to transport visitors back to the height of the Roman Empire. The site is vast, anchored by the iconic Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre, which once seated 25,000 spectators. Walking the marble Curetes Street allows you to trace the actual grooves left by ancient chariots.
For a truly immersive experience, we strongly advise securing tickets to the Terrace Houses. Located within the archaeological site but often requiring a separate entrance fee, these covered excavations reveal the domestic lives of the Ephesian elite. The preserved frescoes and intricate mosaics here offer an intimate counterpoint to the monumental public buildings outside and are well worth the extra cost.
From a practical standpoint, Ephesus demands preparation. The site offers very little shade, and the white marble reflects the intense summer heat. High-quality walking shoes are essential due to uneven, slippery surfaces. Beyond the ancient city, the House of the Virgin Mary offers a quiet, spiritual experience in the hills above, while the Basilica of St. John in nearby Selçuk provides further historical context.
Upon returning to the port, Kusadasi itself offers a functional, if commercial, conclusion to the day. The Grand Bazaar is famous for leather goods and Turkish rugs, though the sales tactics can be aggressive. For a more relaxed end to your visit, bypass the high-pressure shops for a seat along the waterfront promenade to enjoy a strong Turkish coffee and baklava while overlooking the Aegean.
Rhodes, Greece
Rhodes offers one of the most compelling arrivals in the Mediterranean. Your ship docks directly beside the monumental stone walls of its Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe. The primary experience here is simply to get lost within its labyrinthine, cobblestone streets.
The main artery is the Street of the Knights, a remarkably intact medieval thoroughfare leading to the imposing Palace of the Grand Master. This fortress-palace, rebuilt by the Italians in the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Knights of St. John with its grand halls and Hellenistic mosaics. The nearby Archaeological Museum, housed in the former Hospital of the Knights, provides further context to the island's rich history.
For those seeking classical antiquity, a short taxi ride uphill leads to the Acropolis of Rhodes on Monte Smith, where the remains of a Temple of Apollo, a stadium, and a small theater offer panoramic views over the city and sea. The Mandraki Harbour, where the legendary Colossus of Rhodes is said to have stood, is now a pleasant waterfront promenade marked by statues of deer.
Many are tempted by the famous village of Lindos, with its whitewashed houses and clifftop acropolis. It is undeniably stunning, but be aware that the one-hour drive each way, combined with significant crowds, will consume the majority of your day. A choice must be made: a deep, immersive exploration of the magnificent Old Town, or a dedicated excursion to Lindos. For a truly rewarding day, embracing the historical tapestry at your feet in Rhodes Town is often the more satisfying option.
Santorini, Greece
Santorini delivers the visual drama promised by travel brochures, with whitewashed villages spilling down the sides of a massive volcanic caldera. It is spectacular, but it is also one of the most logistically challenging ports in the Mediterranean. Understanding the arrival process is critical to enjoying your day. Ships anchor in the caldera, tendering passengers to a small dock at the base of the cliffs. From there, you face a bottleneck: a low-capacity cable car, a grueling 600-step climb, or donkeys (which we generally discourage due to animal welfare and sanitary concerns).
To maximize your time and minimize frustration, we strongly recommend arranging a boat transfer to Oia or a pre-booked excursion that includes transportation from the tender pier. This strategy bypasses the initial cable car queue, which can consume hours of your morning. Once you have ascended, the island offers distinct experiences. Oia, on the northern tip, is the famous "postcard" village with blue-domed churches and marble streets. It is undeniably beautiful but frequently overwhelmed by crowds; visit early or late if possible. Fira, the capital, offers similar views with more bustle, museums, and shopping, serving as the central hub for the return descent.
For a reprieve from the congestion, the archaeological site of Akrotiri offers a world-class window into the Bronze Age, preserved under volcanic ash. Alternatively, the island’s viticulture is unique; vines are basket-woven low to the ground to survive the wind. Visiting a local estate to taste crisp, volcanic Assyrtiko wine provides a sophisticated, relaxing counterpoint to the busy towns. Santorini is a destination that rewards preparation; with the logistics managed, the views are truly unparalleled.
Pylos, Greece
Corfu, Greece
Corfu distinguishes itself from its Cycladic cousins with a lush, green landscape and a cultural identity deeply colored by centuries of Venetian, French, and British influence. This is immediately apparent upon entering its UNESCO-listed Old Town, a captivating labyrinth of narrow, cobbled lanes (kantounia) that open onto elegant squares. The town is anchored by two formidable fortresses: the Old Fortress, perched on a rocky promontory, offers panoramic views and a tangible sense of history, while the New Fortress looms over the old port.
The heart of social life is the Liston, a graceful arcade of cafés modeled on Paris's Rue de Rivoli, facing the vast Spianada square—one of the largest in Europe. It’s the perfect place to pause for a coffee or a local ginger beer (tsitsibira) and observe the rhythm of the city. For a deeper cultural dive, the Church of Saint Spyridon, with its striking bell tower, houses the relics of the island's patron saint.
While the Old Town can easily fill a day, those seeking coastal beauty can venture to Paleokastritsa (a 30-40 minute drive), renowned for its dramatic cliffs and emerald coves. Alternatively, the Achilleion Palace, built for an Austrian empress, provides a glimpse into 19th-century royal life amid beautiful gardens. Corfu offers a rich, layered experience, blending grand European architecture with the warm hospitality and stunning scenery of the Ionian Sea.
At Sea - Cruising
Venice (Ravenna), Italy
As your cruise concludes on the Adriatic coast, you may see your port of arrival listed as “Venice (Ravenna).” While Venice is a common point of departure, your journey actually culminates in Ravenna—a city of profound historical significance and quiet beauty that is a destination in its own right. Before you rush to the nearest airport, consider this: after days of intellectual engagement in your onboard conferences, Ravenna offers the perfect epilogue to your Italian adventure. It’s a chance to decompress, explore, and immerse yourself in a world of unparalleled artistry, all within a compact and easily walkable city center. We invite you to extend your stay for a day or three; you’ll find it’s the ideal way to transition from your rewarding professional development back to the world at large.
Located on the Adriatic coast in North-East Italy, Ravenna was briefly the capital of the Western Roman Empire and later the Italian capital of the Byzantine Empire. During this time, incredible mosaics were constructed throughout the city. Described as a symphony of color in Dante's Divine Comedy, Ravenna's well-preserved mosaics are some of the finest remaining in the Western world, earning the city eight UNESCO World Heritage sites. Unlike the bustling crowds of larger Italian cities, Ravenna offers a serene and deeply enriching experience, perfect for a discerning traveler.
Your Post-Cruise Itinerary in Ravenna - Day 1: A Symphony of Mosaics
Your first day is dedicated to the city’s crown jewels. A single combination ticket provides access to most of the key UNESCO sites, making for a seamless day of discovery. Begin at the Basilica di San Vitale, an octagonal masterpiece of Byzantine architecture. Step inside and prepare to be mesmerized. The walls are not painted but adorned with millions of tiny, shimmering glass and gold tesserae depicting biblical scenes and, most famously, the imperial portraits of Emperor Justinian and his formidable wife, Theodora. The level of detail and vibrant color, preserved for over 1,500 years, is simply breathtaking.
Adjacent to the basilica is the unassuming Mausoleum of Galla Placidia. Enter this small, cross-shaped structure and find yourself enveloped in a celestial dreamscape. The ceiling is a deep indigo mosaic sky, blanketed with over 800 golden stars, creating an intimate and profoundly moving atmosphere that has captivated visitors for centuries.
From there, a short walk takes you to the Neonian Baptistery, one of the oldest monuments in the city, with a stunning ceiling mosaic depicting the baptism of Christ. Later, you can contrast this with the nearby Arian Baptistery to appreciate the subtle theological and artistic differences from this unique period of history.
Day 2: Dante, Piadina, and Piazza Life - After a day of artistic immersion, explore Ravenna’s other cultural touchstones. Begin your morning with a visit to the tranquil tomb of Dante Alighieri, the father of the Italian language. Exiled from his native Florence, the author of *The Divine Comedy* spent his final years in Ravenna and is buried here in a small, neoclassical mausoleum. It’s a quiet corner of the city perfect for reflection.
For lunch, you must experience the culinary soul of the Emilia-Romagna region: the *piadina*. This warm, unleavened flatbread is a local obsession, and you’ll find countless *piadinerie* serving it filled with regional delights like prosciutto, squacquerone cheese, and arugula. It’s a simple, delicious, and authentic meal.
In the afternoon, make your way to the Piazza del Popolo, the city’s elegant main square. Flanked by Venetian-style architecture, it’s the perfect place to embrace the Italian ritual of the *aperitivo*. Find a table at an outdoor café, order a spritz or a glass of local wine, and simply watch the world go by. The surrounding pedestrian streets are filled with charming boutiques, artisan shops, and gelaterias waiting to be discovered.
Day 3: Deeper Discoveries or Regional Exploration - On your final day, you have options. You can delve deeper into Ravenna by visiting the Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo to see its magnificent parallel mosaics depicting processions of martyrs and virgins. Or, explore the Domus dei Tappeti di Pietra (House of the Stone Carpets), an underground archaeological site showcasing stunning Roman and Byzantine floor mosaics.
Alternatively, use Ravenna as a base for exploring the region. The train station is conveniently located, offering easy day trips. In just over an hour, you can be in Bologna, Italy’s culinary capital, renowned for its fresh pasta, mortadella, and sprawling medieval porticoes. Or, visit the magnificent Renaissance city of Ferrara, with its imposing Este Castle surrounded by a moat.
Practicalities for Departure - When your extended stay concludes, traveling onward is straightforward. The cruise terminal at Porto Corsini is connected to Ravenna’s city center by taxi and shuttle services. The most convenient airport is Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), easily reached by a direct train from Ravenna to Bologna, followed by a short monorail ride to the terminal. Other options include Venice (VCE) and Florence (FLR), though they require longer train journeys.
By choosing to stay, you transform Ravenna from a simple port of disembarkation into a memorable final chapter of your European journey—one filled with art, history, and the relaxed pace of authentic Italian life.

A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable
