Summary

This study tested whether a special light technique called Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) can help surgeons find early cancer spots in the mouth that are hard to see with the naked eye. The trial included 23 adults with untreated oral cancer who were scheduled for surgery. The goal was to see if NBI could improve the accuracy of removing all cancerous tissue.
