Importance will be addressed to the dentist role in the first steps of the disease with particular attention to the diagnosis of periodontal and neurologic associated syndromes.

They expose how and what is done for these patients in the hemato-oncology dentistry public structure where they play an active role. Finally, they expose the pathologic percentiles recorded (18 months period).
