A MEDLINE search early in 2015 revealed more than 250,000 papers on head and neck cancer; over 100,000 on oral cancer; and over 60,000 on mouth cancer. Not all publications contain robust evidence. We endeavour to encapsulate the most important of the latest information and advances now employed in practice, in a form comprehensible to healthcare workers, patients and their carers. This series offers the primary care dental team in particular, an overview of the aetiopathogenesis, prevention, diagnosis and multidisciplinary care of mouth cancer, the functional and psychosocial implications, and minimization of the impact on the quality of life of patient and family.
This article offers the dental team an overview of diagnosis, diagnostic and pre-treatment procedures.
2015年初进行的医学在线数据库检索显示，关于头颈癌的论文超过25万篇；关于口腔癌的超过10万篇；关于口腔癌的超过6万篇。并非所有出版物都包含有力证据。我们努力将目前实践中采用的最新、最重要的信息和进展，以医护人员、患者及其护理人员能够理解的形式进行总结。本系列尤其为基层牙科团队提供了口腔癌的病因发病机制、预防、诊断和多学科护理的概述，以及功能和心理社会影响，同时尽量减少对患者及其家人生活质量的影响。
本文为牙科团队提供了诊断、诊断和治疗前程序的概述。
