OralAdvance™ – Test for oral cancer

OralAdvance™ is a new test for assessing the malignant potential of oral lesions. With recent advances in visualization techniques for the oral cavity, dentists are encountering more suspicious lesions. OralAdvance™, with its soft cyto-brush sample collection kit, provides dentists with a new option for assessing these lesions when biopsy is not warranted or possible. It provides an objective measure of gross DNA abnormality that can give additional information about the pre-malignant or malignant nature of a lesion.

For more information or to order call 1-888-629-8779 or visit www.oraladvance.com.
