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

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 …

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 …

Regular screening through white light inspection of the entire oral mucosa is the most
important examination method to identify precancerous lesions and early oral carcinoma …

Abstract Background and Objective An early detection of oral cancer might improve the
patient's prognosis. We present preliminary results of autofluorescence photodetection 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 …

Background The fluorescence characteristics of tissues depend upon their biochemical
composition and histomorphological architecture, both of which undergo a change during …

Background. Early detection of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the oral cavity can
improve survival. It is often difficult to distinguish neoplastic and benign lesions with …

Background Technology that highlights potentially malignant oral lesions in a highly
sensitive and specific manner will aid clinicians in early diagnosis of these conditions. This …

Abstract Background and Objectives Autofluorescence spectroscopy is a promising tool for
oral cancer detection. Its reliability might be improved by using a reference database of …
