“…Poor prognosis is primarily due to the late detection of OC. Several imaging devices and technologies can help clinicians visualise and describe oral potentially malignant diseases in real time at the point of care [ 36 , 37 , 38 ]. These devices can detect changes in optical properties (i.e., absorption, scattering and fluorescence), which are related to precancerous cancer and cancer development and progression in oral tissue.…”

Background: Oral cancer (OC) is a common tumour that poses a threat to human health and imposes a heavy burden on countries. This study assessed the burden imposed by OC on the 10 most populous countries from 1990 to 2019 on the basis of gender, age and socio-demographic index. Methods: Data on incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and corresponding age-standardised rates (ASR) for OC in the 10 most populous countries from 1990 to 2019 were derived from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. Estimated annual percentage changes were calculated to assess the trends of morbidity, mortality and DALY. The indicator that served as a proxy for survival rate was the supplement of mortality-to-incidence ratio (SMIR) (1 − (M/I)). Results: The number of new cases, deaths and DALY have increased in all 10 countries in the past 30 years. Trends in age-standardised incidence rates (ASIR), age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR) and age-standardised DALY for OC in the 10 most populous countries varied. The SMIR increased in all countries, with most countries having an SMIR between 30% and 50%. In 2019, the United States had the highest SMIR at 76%, whereas Russia had the lowest at 21.7%. Incidence and mortality were close between male and female subjects in Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. The incidence and mortality in male subjects in the United States, Russia, China and Brazil were two or more times those of female subjects. Gender difference was highest among patients aged 40–69 years. Conclusion: Trends and gender differences in ASIR, ASMR and age-standardised DALY for OC vary in the 10 most populous countries. Government cancer programs are often expensive to run, especially in countries with large populations. Policy makers need to take these differences into account when formulating policies.

“…Previous studies regarding DHs conducting screening of oral lesions are few. Based on the answers from 369/3000 responders, an online email survey concluded that continuing education is needed for DHs to be able to be responsible for continuous surveillance of OPMDs 34 . To summarize, in advance of replacing tissue biopsies with brush biopsies for cytology, the recommendation is still to handle continuous surveillance of oral lesions at a specialist clinic, 50 which may explain the high propensity to refer patients to a specialist.…”

“…After being referred to a specialist these patients could be enrolled in a follow‐up program at the primary point of care 33 . In difference to a previous study, 34 focusing on evaluating the level of comfort in clinicians for using different adjunctive screening devices, including brush biopsies, this study was the first to investigate in depth the role for DHs in screening for premalignant oral lesions in the primary care settings. For the primary point of care to be responsible for the continuous surveillance of OPMDs, they require an easy, fast, and affordable, non‐invasive method which brush biopsies fulfil 30,32,35–37 .…”

“…It is based on the differential scattering of light by cellular components upon excitation with specific wavelength of light. SCC and highgrade dysplasia can be distinguished from normal tissue with high sensitivity with FV but less specific in identifying low-grade dysplasia [48]. Many molecules naturally present in the cells such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), collagen, tryptophan, elastin, keratin, haemoglobin etc.…”

A Review on Current Scenario of Oral Cancer in India With Special Emphasis on Modern Detection Systems and Biomarkers

et al. 2020

Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a major public health concern worldwide and a growing threat for rapidly developing economies such as India, where it ranks among the top three cancers. This review aims to discuss the national status of oral cancer in terms of incidences and mortality. We have added the emphasis on clinical characteristics of oral potentially malignant disorders and emerging optical diagnostic techniques to detect oral lesions which would otherwise go undetected by a conventional oral examination. Modern detection systems such as autofluorescence, chemiluminiscence, Narrowband imaging and Raman spectroscopy will definitely aid Conventional oral examination for diagnosis. Definitive diagnosis of oral cancer by using saliva and serum-based noninvasive biomarkers can minimize the need of tissue biopsies and patient discomfort. Urgent research efforts are required to find new ways to identify and examine high-risk population for the early diagnosis and prevention of Oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Adjunctive screening devices for oral lesions: their use by Canadian Dental Hygienists and the need for knowledge translation

Abstract: Current evidence and education through CE appears to bolster knowledge translation efforts for hygienists to become more comfortable in the use of ASDs. ASDs with minimal supporting evidence and not specifically targeted to hygienists, such as the brush biopsies, are not well utilized.
