Cover Story: Oral cancer is the 16th most common cancer worldwide, frequently first detected at a late stage. Early diagnosis is critical, both for optimizing survival and for quality of life after treatment. There is thus a need for non-invasive screening and diagnostics to detect and differentiate early-stage malignant lesions. Optical spectroscopy may provide an appropriate solution to facilitate the early detection of such lesions. This review summarizes the current state of the art and progress in oral cancer diagnostics in vivo and in body fluids and discusses the importance of optical techniques in oral cancer diagnostics. In particular, major developments in label-free optical spectroscopy, including Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy are included. View this paper
