Two patients of oral cancer who had distinct changes on iodine and toluidine-blue staining tests during the development of cancer from oral precancerous lesions

Two cases of oral early carcinoma that developed from precancerous lesions showed the usefulness of mucosal staining with iodine and toluidine-blue solutions during follow-up. The appearance of toluidine-blue stained areas and enlargement of iodine-unstained areas indicated transformation from epith...
