Oral cancer from the perspective of wide-field optical fluorescence: Diagnosis, tumor evolution and post-treatment follow up

Sérgio Araújo Andrade et al. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther. 2017 Sep.

Abstract

In this communication, we present that wide-field optical fluorescence might be useful for: the screening of oral lesions that are imperceptible to the naked eye, determination of biopsy area, better definition of treatment, and previous and post-treatment follow-up.

Keywords: Fluorescence; Oral cancer; Oral squamous cell carcinoma; Wide-field image.
