The current cancer curricula of 52 U.S. dental schools were assessed using a survey similar to that conducted in 1981 by the American Association for Cancer Education. Data demonstrate significant declines in both cancer education representation on the curriculum committee and the existence of a cancer education committee. The percentage of schools with university general budget funding and NCI funding has also declined significantly. Despite recommendations from the 1981 AACE committee, deficits in oral oncology education at present include: 1) an active cancer education committee; 2) practical clinical oncology experience in diagnosis, the decision‐making process, referral procedures, management of oral sequelae of cancer therapy, and maxillofacial rehabilitation; 3) psychosocial training in oncology; 4) community cancer activities; and 5) sustaining funds for oncology education programs.
