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 prese...
Visual diagnosis is one of the key features of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity (OSCC) and oropharynx (OPSCC), both subsets of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with a heterogeneous clinical appearance. Advancements in artificia...

BACKGROUND: Loss of chromosome 9p is an important biomarker in the malignant transformation of oral leukoplakia (OLK) to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and is associated with the prognosis of HNSCC patients. However, various challenge...
Oral leukoplakia (OL) has an inherent disposition to develop oral cancer. OL with epithelial dysplasia (OED) is significantly likely to undergo malignant transformation; however, routine OED assessment is invasive and challenging. This study investig...
BACKGROUND: We aimed to construct an artificial intelligence-based model for detecting oral cancer and dysplastic leukoplakia using oral cavity images captured with a single-lens reflex camera.
Photodiagnosis and photodynamic therapy
Jun 6, 2024
BACKGROUND: The treatment of oral leukoplakia (OLK) with aminolaevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is widespread. Nonetheless, there is variation in efficacy. Therefore, this study constructed a model for predicting the short-term efficacy ...
BACKGROUND: The grading of oral epithelial dysplasia is often time-consuming for oral pathologists and the results are poorly reproducible between observers. In this study, we aimed to establish an objective, accurate and useful detection and grading...
BACKGROUND: Oral leukoplakia (OL) is associated with an increased risk for oral cancer (OC) development. Prediction of OL cancer progression may contribute to decreased OC morbidity and mortality by favoring early intervention. Current OL progression...
OBJECTIVES: To estimate the probability of malignancy of an oral leukoplakia lesion using Deep Learning, in terms of evolution to cancer and high-risk dysplasia.
Diagnostic adjuncts for oral potentially malignant disorders such as leukoplakia or erythroplakia can aid the clinician in triaging abnormal lesions and facilitate both biopsy site selection and surgical management. No adjuncts replace gold standard ...
