Oral cancer and precancerous lesions are difficult to detect at an early stage. Authors of the work in the magazine Cell Reports Medicine proposed a new and accurate diagnostic method.
Head and neck cancer, which accounts for approximately 90% of oral cancers, is the seventh most common malignancy in the world.
One of the most accurate methods of diagnosing oral cancer is a biopsy, that is, analysis of oral tissue. They try to use it as rarely as possible due to its high cost, invasiveness and stress for the patient. A new method based on the analysis of HBD-3 and HBD-2 proteins solves these problems.
The technology, which is already patented, will help reduce the frequency of biopsies by 95%, essentially eliminating non-cancerous oral lesions that do not require an invasive procedure.
