Painless Swab Detects Oral Cancers in an Hour, With Over 95% Accuracy
A new non-invasive test using a simple mouth swab can detect oral cancer with over 95% accuracy within an hour, offering a faster and less painful alternative to traditional biopsies. The test analyzes mRNA from specific genes linked to oral cancer, allowing for regular monitoring of pre-malignant lesions. This advancement could improve early detection and reduce the need for multiple invasive procedures, potentially leading to better patient outcomes.
