Oral cancer is a significant health problem in the USA and throughout the world. Most oral
cancer patients are diagnosed at a late stage, when treatment is less successful and …

The aim is to evaluate the accuracy of autofluorescence for screening oral cancer in
comparison with toluidine blue staining and clinical examination. Oral mucosal disorders …

Purpose: Autofluorescence imaging is increasingly used to noninvasively identify neoplastic
oral cavity lesions. Improving the diagnostic accuracy of these techniques requires a better …

Although the oral cavity is easily accessible to inspection, patients with oral cancer most
often present at a late stage, leading to high morbidity and mortality. Autofluorescence …

Background Oral cancer is a serious global issue and early diagnosis of oral cancer is the
key in reducing the high mortality rate. Autofluorescence properties of oral mucosa have …

Autofluorescence spectroscopy and imaging have been studied for the early detection and
classification of (pre) malignancies of the oral mucosa. In the present review we will give an …

Background There is an important global need to improve early detection of oral cancer.
Recent reports suggest that optical imaging technologies can aid in the identification of …

Objective To evaluate the clinical potential of fluorescence spectroscopy (a noninvasive
technique for assessing the chemical and morphologic composition of tissue) for in vivo …

Autofluorescence spectroscopy shows promising results for detection and staging of oral
(pre-) malignancies. To improve staging reliability, we develop and compare algorithms for …

Direct visualization of the oral tissue autofluorescence has been recently reviewed in
several studies as a possible adjunctive tool for early recognition and diagnosis of …
