First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether special imaging devices can better detect pre-cancerous or cancerous spots in the mouth compared to a standard visual exam. About 63 adults with suspicious mouth lesions or a history of oral cancer will be followed over time. The goal is to see if these advanced imaging tools help doctors make more accurate decisions.
