Summary

This study is testing a special camera that uses a laser to take detailed pictures of mouth sores before surgery. The goal is to see if these pictures can help doctors find oral cancer cells without needing a biopsy. About 140 people with mouth cancer will have their sores photographed, and the images will be compared to standard lab tests. If successful, this technology could lead to earlier diagnosis and more precise surgery.
