Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the sixth-highest incidence of malignant tumors worldwide. However, early diagnosis is complex owing to the impracticality of biopsying every potentially premalignant intraoral lesion. Here, we present a sub-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy combined with a machine learning method for oral mucosal disease identification. This method provides a noninvasive cost-effective identification option for early signs of malignancy.
