New imaging light helps surgeons spot hidden oral cancer

NCT ID NCT01198119

Summary

This study tested whether a special imaging technique called Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) could help surgeons see the edges of oral cancer tumors more clearly during surgery. It involved 23 adults with newly diagnosed, untreated oral cavity cancer who were scheduled for surgery. The main goal was to see if the NBI light could reliably detect very early or hidden cancer lesions that are hard to see with the naked eye.
