NCT ID NCT01167790
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special light (autofluorescence) can help doctors spot early signs of mouth cancer in people who smoke and drink heavily. 180 adults hospitalized for alcohol withdrawal took part. The goal was to see if the light technique is more reliable than a standard oral exam for finding precancerous lesions.
