口腔癌筛查程序被设计为共同允许在可进行视觉和身体检查的身体区域中早期检测癌症，以及促进及时治疗、意识和对公众的持续教育。方法选择了一个州公平的这项活动，因为一个随机的人口与满足这些目标的可用性。共有1 151人参加了这项自由选修活动。结果其中4.17%的人被认为患有需要专业干预的口腔病理状态，1.82%的人被临床诊断为潜在的发育异常或癌前病变。在这一人群中未发现临床口腔癌。尽管如此，凭借筛查和检测临床癌前病变，筛查测试推进了潜在口腔癌的诊断。结论：该结果增加了对口腔癌筛查的支持，作为一种适用于降低口腔癌发病率和死亡率的程序。
BACKGROUND Oral cancer screening procedures are designed to collectively allow early detection of cancers in a body area accessible to visual and physical examination, as well as to facilitate timely treatment, awareness, and the ongoing education of the public. METHODS A state fair was selected for this activity because of the availability of a random population compatible with meeting these goals. A total of 1,151 individuals participated in this free elective activity. RESULTS Of this number 4.17% were deemed to have oral pathologic states necessitating professional intervention, and 1.82% were clinically diagnosed as having potential dysplastic or precancerous lesions. No clinical oral cancer was detected in this population. Nevertheless, by virtue of screening and detecting clinically premalignant lesions, the screening test advanced the diagnosis of potential oral cancers. CONCLUSIONS The outcome adds support to oral cancer screening as a procedure applicable in reducing morbidity and mortality from oral cancers.
