NBI light for early mouth cancer detection
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a special light called narrow band imaging (NBI) to help doctors find early signs of mouth cancer or pre-cancer. If you have a persistent mouth sore, a history of mouth conditions, or are at high risk, this screening might help catch problems early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a mouth sore or lesion that hasn't healed, or you have a history of a pre-cancerous mouth condition (like leukoplakia).
- You have had cancer in your mouth, throat, nose, or esophagus.
- You are at high risk (for example, heavy drinker or smoker) even if you don't have a visible mouth problem.

This trial uses a special light-based scanner (OCT) and artificial intelligence to help diagnose early signs of mouth cancer or precancer. It aims to see if this combination can make diagnosis easier and more accurate.
This trial tests a low-cost approach to find and treat early mouth cancers or precancerous spots using a special light-activated drug (photodynamic therapy). The goal is to destroy the abnormal cells while sparing healthy tissue.
This research study examines how oral cancer develops by collecting tissue samples from people with oral cancer or pre-cancerous mouth conditions. The goal is to understand what changes happen in the mouth that lead to cancer, which may help improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.
This study uses a special camera during an endoscopy to help tell whether a stomach finding might be cancerous, especially at an early stage. It may help clinicians make faster, more accurate decisions about which early lesions need treatment.
This study tests a “precision optical” method to help guide an oral biopsy in people with abnormal or potentially cancerous mouth spots. It may help clinicians target the right area to sample, making diagnosis more accurate.
This study compares two non-invasive methods to detect precancerous sores in the mouth. It aims to find a simpler way to catch early changes before they become cancer.
