Globally, oral cancer constitutes one of the most common cancer, with a very high incidence in developing countries. In India, oral cancer is the second most common cancer.
Differentiation between early stage cancers, precancerous lesions and benign lesions is often difficult because of the similar appearance of these lesions. Definitive diagnosis of malignant and benign lesions is commonly based on histological examination, but a noninvasive and simple screening test may be desirable as an adjunctive method.
