Overview

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for oral cancer.

Screening

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for oral cancer.^[1]
There is no country that has any routine screening program for oral cancer.
There is insufficient evidence to support any screening modality that might decrease mortality in oral cancer.

 ==Screening==
-The goal of oral cancer screening is to detect mouth cancer or precancerous lesions that may lead to mouth cancer but no studies have proved that oral cancer screening saves lives, so not all organizations agree about the benefits of an oral exam for oral cancer screening. Some groups recommend screening, while others don't. People with a high risk of oral cancer may be more likely to benefit from oral cancer screening, though studies haven't clearly proved that.

-===There is no standard or routine screening test for oral cancer===
+* There is no country that has any routine [[Screening (medicine)|screening]] program for oral cancer.
-Screening for oral cancer may be done during a routine check-up by a dentist or medical doctor. The exam will include looking for lesions, including areas of leukoplakia (an abnormal white patch of cells) and erythroplakia (an abnormal red patch of cells). Leukoplakia and erythroplakia lesions on the mucous membranes may become cancerous.
+* There is insufficient evidence to support any [[Screening (medicine)|screening]] modality that might decrease mortality in oral cancer.
-If lesions are seen in the mouth, the following procedures may be used to find abnormal tissue that might develop into oral cancer:
-*Toluidine blue stain: A procedure in which lesions in the mouth are coated with a blue dye. Areas that stain darker are more likely to be cancer or become cancer.
-Fluorescence staining: A procedure in which lesions in the mouth are viewed using a special light. After the patient uses a fluorescent mouth rinse, normal tissue looks different from abnormal tissue when seen under the light.
-*Exfoliative cytology: A procedure to collect cells from the lip or oral cavity. A piece of cotton, a brush, or a small wooden stick is used to gently scrape cells from the lips, tongue, mouth, or throat. The cells are viewed under a microscope to find out if they are abnormal.
-*Brush biopsy: The removal of cells using a brush that is designed to collect cells from all layers of a lesion. The cells are viewed under a microscope to find out if they are abnormal.
-More than half of oral cancers have already spread to lymph nodes or other areas by the time they are found. No studies have shown that screening would decrease the risk of dying from this disease.
-===Risks of Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Cancer Screening===
-*Screening tests have risks.
-*The risks of oral cancer screening include the following:
-**Finding oral cancer may not improve health or help a person live longer.
-**False-negative test results can occur.
-**False-positive test results can occur.
-**Misdiagnosis can occur.
