Screening for Oral Cancer for Early Detection of Premalignant Disorders
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Cancer is a complex disease; its different causes and types have a strong impact on patient treatment and prognosis. To improve understanding of the disease, its causes and progression, the investigators will develop a simple, cost-effective system for continuous control of mucosal lesions with non-invasive brush biopsy that can be managed in primary dental care, as an alternative to tissue biopsy in order to reduce the number of oral cavity cancers.
