Early detection OSCC - Citation of a retracted paper which claimed to predict the risk of oral epithelial dysplasia up to 5 years before a histologic diagnosis (Dr. Urmila Nair, 12 June 2011)
Oral squamous cell cancer: early detection and the role of alcohol and smoking By Zygogianni et al appearing in Head & Neck Oncology 2011, 3:2doi:10.1186/1758-3284-3-2
The high incidence of Oral squamous cell carcinoma worldwide and its terrible prognosis has led to a large number of studies to establish early detection methods. The authors have rightly stated that there is a clear need for new prognostic indicators, which could be used in diagnostics and, consequently, in the selection of the most effective treatment method. However among the modern methods of oral cytology for OCSC they cite in DNA image cytometry a method for which nuclear DNA content of oral leukoplakia cells can be used to predict the risk of oral epithelial dysplasia up to 5 years before a...

Correction to TOM score listed in Table 1 (Christopher Scrase, 10 November 2010)
TOM score 1 (ONE) should read: ''Non oral feeding/supplements required to meet all hydration needs. VARIABLE ABILITY to take practice amounts of modified consistencies using compensatory strategies'
