Abstract
Oral cancers are among the most frequent tumors in the world and oral oncology is
a specialty area of medicine that focuses on their diagnosis, treatment and management.
Prognosis and survival rates are greatly increased by early identification. A range
of detection techniques such as advanced imaging technologies including MRI and
CT scans, biopsies and ocular inspections are used. Furthermore, non-invasive possibilities
for early detection are provided by recently developed techniques including optical
coherence tomography and salivary diagnostics.
To improve the accuracy of detection, research is also being done on molecular and
genetic markers. By combining these various approaches, oral oncology patient outcomes
are eventually improved by thorough screening and prompt intervention.
