Traditionally, dermatological education emphasizes hair, skin and nails in its curriculum. There is a practice gap with regard to knowledge of normal oral mucosa variants, performance of the oral examination, and competence in diagnosing and treating oral mucosal disorders. The oral mucosa falls within the purview of dermatology.

Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, 72 E. Concord Street, Boston, MA 02118, USA; Department of Otolaryngology, Boston Medical Center, 800 Harrison Avenue, Boston, MA 02118, USA. Electronic address:

Objective: This preliminary study tested whether non-invasive, remote Elastic Scattering Spectroscopy (ESS) measurements obtained in the oral cavity can be used as a proxy to accurately differentiate between patients with laryngeal cancer versus laryngeal leukoplakia.

Methods: 20 patients with laryngeal lesions [cancer (n = 10),leukoplakia (n = 10)] were clinically assessed and categorized by otolaryngologists per standard clinical practice. Patient demographics of age, race, sex, and smoking history were collected.

Statement Of The Problem: Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and premalignant disorders such as leukoplakia are common oral cavity lesions. Although these lesions are epithelial in nature, they are also associated with juxta-epithelial chronic inflammation. Mast cells play a significant role in inflammation initiation and propagation.

Article Synopsis
  • Predictive biomarkers can help identify oral leukoplakia with a higher risk of becoming cancerous, which is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Two patients presented with oral burning sensations and white lesions, leading to a diagnosis confirmed through tissue analysis.
  • The study found specific changes in microRNA expressions and antioxidant enzyme activities in patients, indicating a link between these molecular changes and the risk of malignant transformation.
