This year more then 30,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cancer. When it is caught early, 90% can be cured. Today there's a simple visual test that Dr. Hank Barreto can use to improve the potential for early caner identification in at-risk patients by detecting oral abnormalities. It's called the ViziLite™ test and it's available for patients like you.
The ViziLite™ test works hand in hand with the conventional visual examination of the mouth. The abnormal areas that might not have been seen are clearer. The ability to find these abnormal areas early is why experts are recommending a visual exam with the ViziLite™ test.
This technology has successfully improved the identification of pre-cancerous abnormalities in thousands of exams of squamous epithelium of the cervix, with an accuracy that surpasses that an examination with conventional light.
The ViziLite™ test is a painless, two-minute visual exam. First, you swish a cleansing solutions in your mouth for 60 seconds and sit it our. Then your healthcare provider performs a visual examination of your mouth using the ViziLite™ test. The light makes detecting the potentially harmful areas easier than ever before.
In clinical use, it patients at increased risk for oral cancer the ViziLite™ Test Kit improves the ability to identify, evaluate, and monitor lesions which upon biopsy may include cancer and neoplasia.
Although patients with previously mentioned risk factors are most susceptible to oral cancer, according to the ADA, 25% of oral cancer occur in people who do not smoke and have no other risk factors. Therefore, we believe that every patient should be tested for oral cancer at least once a year.
