    VELscope is the first adjunctive oral cancer screening device to utilize tissue fluorescence visualization technology, which is supported by research funded by the NIH and other organizations. Its exams take only 2 minutes, are easy to incorporate into the practice, involve no distasteful rinses or stains, and are affordable for patients and profitable for practices. It is effective in helping detect not only cancerous and precancerous lesions but other types of abnormal tissue also.

     

    OralCDx

    The OralCDx BrushTest is an essential in-office tool for every dentist, as it is the only accurate, painless way to know that none of your patients have a still-harmless oral dysplasia (precancer). It combines an easy-to-use, patented tissue-sampling brush with a revolutionary computer-assisted cell analysis system. US dentists have tested more than 500,000 patients, resulting in the detection of thousands of oral dysplasias years before oral cancer could start.

    The State Government will spare no efforts at grooming the Regional Cancer Centre (RCC) here as a national cancer institute.

    The State Health Minister, Mr V.S. Sivakumar, said this while inaugurating a state-level workshop on ‘Role of dental surgeons in prevention and control of oral cancer’.

    He assured the Regional Cancer Centre all support for development and growth. The centre has been providing treatment and care to nearly two lakh patients annually.

    The Minister said he would visit the centre soon and apprise the State Government of its infrastructure needs, including dormitory facilities.

    A proposal to provide free transport to cancer patients on State Road Transport Corporation buses has been mooted. Orders to this effect would be issued soon.

    The ‘first-of-its-kind’ workshop would serve to provide specialised awareness to dental professionals on oral cancer treatment and care.

    The workshop was organised with the support of National Rural Health Mission, Kerala, and Indian Dental Association (IDA), Kerala.

    It explored and discussed opportunities and challenges for dental practitioners and surgeons in early detection of oral cancers.
