5 What Does Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Look Like Clinically? Exophytic Mass-forming Fungating Papillary Verruciform Endophytic Invasive Burrowing Ulcerated Leukoplakic a white patch Erythroplakic a red patch Erythroleukoplakic a red-and-white patch 7

6 Early Diagnosis of Oral Cancer Identify precursor lesions Leukoplakia Erythroplakia Be suspicious - biopsy clinically suspicious lesions 9

9 Components of an Oral Cancer Examination Extraoral examination Inspect head and neck. Bimanually palpate lymph nodes and salivary glands. Lips Inspect and palpate outer surfaces of lip and vermilion border. Inspect and palpate inner labial mucosa. Buccal mucosa Inspect and palpate inner cheek lining. Gingiva/alveolar ridge Inspect maxillary/mandibular gingiva and alveolar ridges on both the buccal and lingual aspects. Tongue Have patient protrude tongue and inspect the dorsal surface. Have patient lift tongue and inspect the ventral surface. Grasping tongue with a piece of gauze and pulling it out to each side, inspect the lateral borders of the tongue from its tip back to the lingual tonsil region. Palpate tongue. Floor of mouth Inspect and palpate floor of mouth. Hard palate Inspect hard palate. Soft palate and oropharynx Gently depressing the patient s tongue with a mouth mirror or tongue blade, inspect the soft palate and oropharynx. Neville and Day, CA Cancer J Clin 2002;52:

91 Adjunctive Screening Aids Devices intended to assist in lesion detection Devices based on tissue reflectance MicroLux/DL (AdDent, Danbury, CT) Orascoptic DK (Orascoptic, Kerr, Middleton, WI) ViziLite Plus (Zila, Phoenix, AZ) Device based on autofluorescence VELscope (LED Dental, Burnaby, BC, CA) Device based on autofluorescence and tissue reflectance Identifi 3000 (Trimira, Houston, TX) Device intended to assist in lesion assessment Device based on transepithelial cytology OralCDx BrushTest (OralCDx Laboratories, Suffern, NY)

92 Adjunctive Screening Aids There is insufficient evidence that commercial devices based on autofluorescence enhance visual detection of potentially malignant lesions beyond that achieved through a conventional visual and tactile examination (III) There is insufficient evidence that commercial devices based on tissue reflectance enhance visual detection of potentially malignant lesions beyond that achieved through a conventional visual and tactile examination (III) There is insufficient evidence to assess the validity of transepithelial cytology of seemingly innocuous mucosal lesions (III) In suspicious mucosal lesions with high potential for malignancy, transepithelial cytology has validity in identifying disaggregated dysplastic cells (III) (A conclusion of insufficient evidence does not necessarily mean that the intervention is or is not effective, but instead means that the panel did not find sufficient evidence to support a recommendation)

122 Identafi 3000

123 Identafi 3000 Press Release -Trimira LLC : Identafi 3000 uses white, violet, and amber wavelengths of light to excite oral tissue in distinct and unique ways. Biochemical changes can be monitored with fluorescence, while morphological changes can be monitored with reflectance. This multiple wavelength technology identifies abnormal tissue with more accuracy than the single color approaches currently on the market. The ability to read metabolic and physiologic differences makes it easier to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissue. The combined system of fluorescence and reflectance uses the body's natural tissue properties as an adjunctive tool for oral mucosal examination.

133 Transepithelial Brush Biopsy

134 OralCDx Brush Biopsy Report Negative - no cellular abnormalities Positive epithelial dysplasia or carcinoma - Scalpel biopsy indicated Atypical - abnormal epithelial changes - Scalpel biopsy indicated

135 OralCDx Transepithelial Brush Biopsy Drore Eisen, DDS, MD, Medical Director Oralscan Laboratories The brush biopsy is used to test benign-appearing lesions that have been either watched or ignored in the past. These are lesions that dentists do not find sufficiently suspicious to warrant referral for scalpel biopsy, not those distinguished by signs and symptoms of malignancy, clear indications for scalpel biopsy.
