Summary
This study tests whether special lights and cameras can help find early signs of mouth cancer in people at high risk. About 338 participants with precancerous spots or conditions like Fanconi anemia will have their mouths examined with fluorescence imaging, which makes abnormal cells glow. The goal is to see if this method works better than standard exams to catch cancer early when it's easier to treat.
