AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the article is to analyze the results obtained by the national research groups with the Russian State Cancer Program for the screening of diseases of the oral mucosa and the vermillion border. This article analyzes the results obtained by national research groups in the implementation of the Russian State Cancer Program. BACKGROUND: Based on the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry of A.I.
