Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a cutting-edge perspective on the latest knowledge, innovations and opportunities in the detection, diagnosis and management of oral cancer risk. As you are well aware, oral cancer incidence and prevalence rates are increasing globally, almost doubling in some countries since the late 1970s, while, uniquely among all the major malignancies, outcomes have not improved in our patients.
In this Special Issue, we welcome submissions from the diverse field of diagnostic adjunctive methods and biomarkers, field-based screening and specialist referral, and novel methods such as artificial intelligence applied clinically, to tissue samples or to histological images. Moreover, the Special Issue will address advances such as those that incorporate artificial intelligence, specific signatures in the oral microbiome, and novel remote technologies to improve the detection, diagnosis or referral of individuals with increased oral cancer risk. Finally, the SI will include expert re-evaluations of established concepts of oral cancer risk.
