Role of Advanced Diagnostic Aids in the Detection of Potentially Malignant Disorders and Oral Cancer at an Early Stage

One of the most prevalent malignancies diagnosed today is cancer of the mouth or oral cancer. Compared to systemic malignancies like lung cancer, colon cancer, etc., oral cancer tends to get less attention from the general public. However, these lesions may be lethal if not treated, even if diagnose...

Summary:One of the most prevalent malignancies diagnosed today is cancer of the mouth or oral cancer. Compared to systemic malignancies like lung cancer, colon cancer, etc., oral cancer tends to get less attention from the general public. However, these lesions may be lethal if not treated, even if diagnosed early. Early diagnosis improves the prognosis for successful therapy. Delayed diagnosis is hypothesized to be a pivotal contributor to the dismal oral cancer survival rate over five years. The current standard of care for diagnosis and detection is based on clinical evaluation, the histological study of biopsy material, and genetic methods. There have been several advancements in the diagnostic technologies available to detect oral cancer at the initial phase. This study aims to dissect the cutting-edge methods for detecting oral cancer in its earliest stages.
