Abstract
The prognosis for oral cancer remains poor in spite of advances in therapy. Early diagnosis and treatment
remains the key to improved patient survival. Because scalpel biopsy for diagnosis is invasive and has potential
morbidity, it is reserved for evaluating highly suspicious lesions and not for the lesions which are clinically not
suspicious. Early stage oral cancers cannot be adequately identified by visual inspection alone and may be
overlooked and neglected. A number of new diagnostic aids to conventional oral examination have recently
been introduced to assist in the detection of oral cancer.
