Abstract
ObjectivesThis case study evaluated the efficacy of mid‐infrared spectroscopy on the identification of oral squamous cell carcinoma, following the assessment of unstimulated whole saliva.Study Design and MethodsThe trial follows a matched case–control design. Saliva samples were characterized through mid‐infrared spectroscopy, and chemometric tools were applied to distinguish between case and control participants, further identifying the spectral regions that played a pivotal role in the successful identification of oral squamous cell carcinoma.ResultsMid‐infrared spectroscopy was capable to discriminate between cancer patients and matched controls with 100% of correct predictions. Additionally, the spectral regions mostly contributing to the successful prediction were identified and found to be potentially associated with significant molecular changes crucial to the carcinogenic process.ConclusionThe application of mid‐infrared spectroscopy in saliva analysis may be regarded as an innovative, noninvasive, low cost, and sensitive technique contributing to the identification of oral squamous cell carcionma.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
