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 …

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 …

Objectives Several imaging techniques have been advocated as clinical adjuncts to improve
identification of suspicious oral lesions. However, these have not yet shown superior …

Objectives VELscope® was developed to inspect oral mucosa autofluorescence. However,
its accuracy is heavily dependent on the examining physician's experience. This study was …

Oral cancer is an important global health problem. There is an urgent need for improved
methods to detect oral cancer and its precursors, because early detection is the best way to …

Simple Summary Oral cancer has a high mortality rate. Then, oral cancer screening is
needed for early detection and treatment. Fluorescence visualization is non-invasive …

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 …

If detected early, oral cancer is eminently curable. However, survival rates for oral cancer
patients remain low, largely due to late-stage diagnosis and subsequent difficulty of …
