Oral cancer: current and future diagnostic techniques.
Oral cancer is among the 10 most common cancers worldwide, and is especially seen in disadvantaged elderly males. Early detection and prompt treatment offer the best chance for cure. As patient awareness regarding the danger of oral cancer increases, the demand for "screening" is expected to increase. The signs and symptoms of oral cancer often resemble less serious conditions more commonly fou...
متن کاملCancer Prevention Research Autofluorescence-Guided Surveillance for Oral Cancer
Early detection of oral premalignant lesions (OPL) and oral cancers (OC) is critical for improved survival. We evaluated if the addition of autofluorescence visualization (AFV) to conventional white-light examination (WLE) improved the ability to detect OPLs/OCs. Sixty high-risk patients, with suspicious oral lesions or recently diagnosed untreated OPLs/OCs, underwent sequential surveillance wi...
متن کاملEndoscopic Diagnostic System Using Autofluorescence
A fluorescence imaging system (Xillix LIFE - Lung Fluorescence Endoscopy system) using fluorescence for the accurate diagnosis and early detection of lesions through an endosocope has been developed. This system has applied an optical diagnostic technology to functionally diagnose lesions which have been difficult to morphologically recognize or are occult with conventional endoscope. The benef...
متن کاملAutofluorescence bronchoscopy for lung cancer surveillance based on risk assessment.
BACKGROUND This is a preliminary report of an ongoing prospective bimodality lung cancer surveillance trial for high-risk patients. Bimodality surveillance incorporates autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) and spiral CT (SCT) scanning in high-risk patients as a primary lung cancer surveillance strategy, based entirely on risk factors. AFB was used for surveillance and findings were compared with...
متن کاملDiagnostic Aids in Oral Cancer Screening
At the world level, head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer (Fedele 2009). Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for about 40% of head and neck and 90-95% of oral malignancies (Neville et al. 1995; Pektas et al. 2006). OSCC is proceeded by visible changes in the oral mucosa, such as: white plaque, redness, ulcer or exophytic lesion, with no other signs/symptoms. (Delavarian ...
