Historically, the screening of patients for signs of oral cancer and precancerous lesions has
relied upon the conventional oral examination. A variety of commercial diagnostic aids and …

chloroaluminum phthalocyanine; antiCEA MoAb, anticarcinoembryonic antigen; BBC, basal …

Around 300 000 patients are estimated to have oral cancer worldwide annually, and the
incidence is higher in South Asian countries. In 2005, at the Congress of WHO, the term …

Fast and non-invasive, diagnostic techniques based on fluorescence spectroscopy have the
potential to link the biochemical and morphologic properties of tissues to individual patient …

Oral cancer is a growing health issue in a number of low-and middle-income countries
(LMIC), particularly in South and Southeast Asia. The described dual-modality, dual-view …

Fiber optic probes are a key element for biomedical spectroscopic sensing. We review the
use of fiber optic probes for optical spectroscopy, focusing on applications in turbid media …

Early identification of high-risk disease could greatly reduce both mortality and morbidity due
to oral cancer. We describe a simple handheld device that facilitates the direct visualization …

Purpose: Genetically altered cells could become widespread across the epithelium of
patients with oral cancer, often in clinically and histologically normal tissue, and contribute to …

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