Cancer Screening
During the head and neck examination, you will be visually screened for unusual changes to the various tissues in and around your mouth. We have also incorporated Vizilite® Plus into our oral screening standard of care. We find that using Vizilite Plus along with a standard oral cancer examination improves the ability to identify suspicious areas at their earliest stages. Vizilite Plus is similar to proven early detection procedures for other cancers such as mammography, Pap smear, and PSA. Vizilite Plus is a simple and painless examination that gives the best chance to find any oral abnormalities at the earliest possible stage. Early detection of pre-cancerous tissue can minimize or eliminate the potentially disfiguring effects of oral cancer and possibly save your life. The Vizilite Plus exam will be offered to you annually.
Although suspicious lesions are rarely found, any unusual finding may warrant additional testing. This can involve a recently developed brush biopsy technique or traditional incisional biopsy.
