Oral Cancer Early Detection
There are many tools that Dr.
Huff may utilize to assist in the early detection of oral cancer:
VELscope®
|
|
| While the VELscope system can help clinicians
discover several types of abnormal tissue in the oral cavity,
it is perhaps best known for its ability to assist in the discovery
of oral cancer and precancer.

OralAdvance™
|
|
| OralAdvance™ is an innovative test designed
to detect early-stage oral cancer. Technologies such as OralAdvance™,
combined with regular oral examinations, greatly improve the
chances of early detection and thus have the potential to lower
the mortality rate for oral cancer.

 OralCDx
OralCDx represents a breakthrough in oral cancer detection, a test
that will allow you and your dentist to improve the prognosis of
a disease that has remained unchanged for the last 50 years.
OralCDx is the first computerized brush biopsy system. It allows
dentists to quickly, painlessly and reliably detect oral cancer
in its earliest, most easily treatable stage.
Originally developed as part of the “Star Wars” missile
defense program, the OralCDx computer system includes a neural network-based
image processing system specifically adapted to detect abnormalities
unique to oral brush biopsy samples
Dr. Huff also utilizes Tufts
Oral Pathology Services (TOPS) which has a long and distinguished
record of providing outstanding care and education in the field
of oral and maxillofacial pathology.
