Grant RecipientAmount

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-KANSAS CITY SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY

PURPOSE: Although radiotherapy saves the lives of many head and neck cancer patients, the quality of life of these cancer survivors is drastically diminished due to numerous radiotherapy-induced oral and dental complications, including painful mucosal tissue, dry mouth and severe debilitating breakdown of teeth and the associated loss of chewing function. Medically necessary oral care before, during, and after cancer treatment is critical to prevent or reduce the incidence and severity of oral complications and to enhancing both patient survival and quality of life. The Dental Care for Head and Neck Cancer Patients program will provide dental care for uninsured and under insured patients referred from any regional medical center. Services include dental care required prior to starting cancer treatment (pre-care) and follow up/ongoing dental care after cancer treatment (post-care).

PURPOSE: Head and neck cancer patients at Truman Medical Center have an increased vulnerability because of their already low socioeconomic status. The costs associated with the treatment of these cancers can be overwhelming for any patient, but especially for those who are uninsured or under-insured. Planning treatment for a patient with limited or no financial resources is difficult. The HNC Financial Assistance Program will provide assistance with costs associated with transportation to medical appointments, nutritional supplements and tube feeding supplies, prescription co-pays, rental or durable medical equipment, and medical supplies necessary for post-operative care of a tracheotomy.
