1 ENHANCING DETECTION... ENHANCING YOUR PRACTICE

2 Staggering Statistics on Oral Cancer 1 person dies from oral cancer each hour of every day The Mortality Rate for oral cancer has not decreased in over 30 years 72% of the cases of oral cancer are not diagnosed until stage two or later Late detection results in a five year survival rate of only 52% Cases of oral cancer are increasing at an alarming rate

3 Public Awareness of Oral Cancer Must Improve 41,350 new cases of oral cancer were discovered in 2013 Oral cancer impacted 3X as many people in 2013 when compared to cervical cancer (41,350 cases versus 12,340 cases respectively) HPV is increasing the number of oral cancer cases There has been a 60% increase in oral cancer in adults under the age of 40 (25% of these cases have no traditional risk factors (smoking, drinking, etc.)

4 New England Journal of Medicine, 2007 Oral HPV infection is strongly associated with oropharyngeal cancer among subjects with or without the established risk factors of tobacco and alcohol use.

5 EARLY DETECTION IS THE KEY Appropriate Stage for Discovery & Intervention 67% of all oral cancer is currently discovered beyond this stage. (Stage II) Early Dysplasia Moderate Dysplasia Potentially Malignant Disease Stages Severe Dysplasia Carcinoma-In-Situ (CIS) 5 Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

6 VELscope VX The Technology A safe blue light (no radiation) shines through the epithelial tissue and basement membrane to the stromal collagen Patented technology filters out everything except the fluorescence of the tissues Healthy tissue reflects back through the scope as a brilliant green color Suspicious tissue will absorb the light and not fluoresce, appearing extremely dark, almost black

15 Pre-clinical discovery Left palate : low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma

16 Blanching under Diascopic Pressure Using an instrument to blanch is a technique 1 for indicating whether or not an abnormality has an inflammatory component. This particular area is inflammation and blanches completely Treatment and follow-up in two weeks showed complete resolution 1. Rudd M, Eversole R, Carpenter W.

18 Since we have incorporated the VELscope in our practice we have had three positive oral carcinomas treated by oral and plastic surgeons in 2 1/2 years. Numerous biopsies have resulted in the removal of worrisome and non malignant growths which has increased our patient acceptance and referrals. Thanks for the technology. Thomas R. Leischner DDS Elk Grove Village, IL
