Official Title
Autofluorescence Detection of Oral Malignancies and Database and Biospecimen Collection to Identify Biomarkers of Head and Neck Tumor Progression
Brief Summary
This research may help dentists or surgeons to better detect areas in the mouth that are
either prone to cancer or are early cancers. The earlier the detection on cancer in the
mouth, the better the chance that treatment or prevention can be more effective.
Study Type
Observational
Primary Outcome
to investigate whether the use of a fluorescent light in the mouth can detect precancers or early cancers that are not seen on normal clinical examination.
Secondary Outcome
The second purpose is to collect other samples from the mouth in hopes to identify changes in the proteins and/or genes that will help identify how cancers start in the mouth.
Condition
