Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Despite of various advancements in the treatment modalities, oral cancer mortalities are more, particularly in developing countries like India. This is mainly due to the delay in diagnosis of oral cancer. Delay in diagnosis greatly reduces prognosis of the treatment and also cause increased morbidity and mortality rates. Early diagnosis plays a key role in effective management of oral cancer. A rapid diagnostic technique can greatly aid in the early diagnosis of oral cancer. Now a day's many adjunctive oral cancer screening techniques are available for the early diagnosis of cancer. Among these, autofluorescence based diagnostic techniques are rapidly emerging as a powerful tool. These techniques are broadly discussed in this review.
口腔癌是全球最常见的癌症之一。尽管治疗方式有了各种进步,但口腔癌死亡率仍然较高,尤其是在印度等发展中国家。这主要是由于口腔癌诊断延迟。诊断延迟大大降低了治疗的预后,还导致发病率和死亡率上升。早期诊断在口腔癌的有效管理中起着关键作用。一种快速诊断技术可以极大地帮助口腔癌的早期诊断。如今,有许多辅助口腔癌筛查技术可用于癌症的早期诊断。其中,基于自体荧光的诊断技术正迅速成为一种强大的工具。本综述将对这些技术进行广泛讨论。
