The relevance of CDX Brush biopsy in diagnosing early oral cancer in developing countries

摘要

Squamous cell Carcinoma of oral mucosa is the most common type of cancer in males and third most common type in females in the Indian sub continent. Oral Squamous cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is preventable and the risk factors are well known. There are several techniques for early detection of oral cancer. CDX brush is designed to make abrasions in the oral mucous membrane so that the dysplastic or malignant cells which are mostly present in the basal layer of epithelium willbe caught up in the sample for cytologic analysis.
