SENSS has substantial experience in reviewing and modelling oral cancer screening. We have conducted multiple projects that lead to published papers in high-impact publications.
What is oral cancer?
What is oral cancer?
Oral cancer (OC), also called mouth cancer, forms in the oral cavity, which includes all parts of your mouth that you can see if you open wide and look in the mirror. Your lips, gums, tongue, cheeks, roof or floor of the mouth. Oral cancer forms when cells on the lips or in the mouth mutate.
Why do we need screening for oral cancer?
Why do we need screening for oral cancer?
Oral cancer has an incidence of more than 300,000 cases per year. The prognosis of OC is improved when it is detected at an early stage, with a five year survival rate of 75% for stage I disease which is drastically reduced to 30% at stage IV of the disease.

Systematic review and meta-analysis (2022)
The current diagnostic pathway approach for oral cancer has limitations in that the findings of conventional oral examinations are subjective and dependent on the experience and expertise of the clinician, while biopsy is invasive and can lead to morbidity. This systematic review evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of conventional oral examination (visual inspection) compared with incisional or excisional biopsy (gold standard) for the diagnosis of oral cavity cancers and/or oral potentially malignant disorders in patients with a clinically evident oral lesion.doi.org/10.1002/hed.26992
