Glow-in-the-Dark mouth exams could catch cancer early

This study tests whether shining special lights in the mouth can help find early signs of oral cancer. About 338 people at higher risk for mouth cancer (like those with leukoplakia, Fanconi anemia, or heavy tobacco use) will have their mouth tissues examined with fluorescence imaging and a small probe. The goal is to see if these light-based methods can detect precancerous or cancerous cells better than standard exams, potentially leading to earlier treatment.
