One of the VELscope's most important tasks is to help locate areas that might, if not treated, progress to oral cancer.
- Found early, oral cancer's 5 year survival rate is approximately 83%
- Found late, oral cancer's 5 year survival rate is approximately 32%
Clearly, finding oral cancer in its early stages is key to survival. The VELscope is the instrument that offers hope for the early discovery of oral precancer and cancer.
