Summary

This study looks at whether tooth enamel loss (dental erosion) can be a simple, non-invasive clue for esophagogastric cancer and other cancers like colorectal, pancreatic, breast, head and neck, and lung cancer. Researchers will compare dental erosion in 174 people with and without cancer to see if it happens more often in cancer patients. The goal is to find a new way to spot cancer earlier without needles or scans.
