Study Summary

This trial looks at using different colors of light to get a better look at mouth lesions during surgery, which may help doctors better identify which ones are pre-cancerous or cancerous.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with oral lesions who are already scheduled for surgery to remove or biopsy these areas. Participants must understand and be willing to sign a consent form. It's open to those who've had previous treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests imaging techniques like wide-field and high-resolution in vivo imaging, using multispectral lights and proflavine dye, to better visualize mouth lesions during surgery and assess their cancer risk.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include mild discomfort from the imaging process or reactions to the proflavine dye such as local irritation. However, detailed side effect profiles will depend on individual patient responses.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Classification of tissue
Evaluation of oral mucosa to be used for non-invasive detection and diagnosis with the use of optical imaging after administration of the topical contrast agent proflavine.
Secondary outcome measures
Percentage of subjects and lesions that can be successfully imaged with wide-field and high-resolution optical microscopes after topical application of contrast dye
Qualitative features within images that differ between pathologically normal, dysplastic, cancerous and inflammatory lesions
