Screening programs of individuals at high risk for oral and oropharyngeal squamous [SEE THE FIG 5A, 5B IN SOURCE PDF] carcinoma are feasible and useful. Identification of high-risk anatomical sites, specific clinical criteria (i.e., erythroplasia), and staining modalities with high sensitivity and specificity make detection of early asymptomatic carcinomas possible. Early detection results in easily treated lesions with minimal post-treatment morbidity and increased survival rates. A secondary gain is the identification of individuals at high risk for multiple upper aerodigestive and lung cancers.
