Biopsy of the tumor tissue is diagnostic of oral cancer. Other diagnostic studies for oral cancer include [[endoscopy]], indirect [[pharyngoscopy]] and [[laryngoscopy]], exfoliative [[cytology]], [[barium swallow]], [[chest x-ray]] and [[bone scan]] to diagnose [[metastasis]] to chest and bone respectively.

Overview

Biopsy of the tumor tissue is diagnostic of oral cancer. Other diagnostic studies for oral cancer include endoscopy, indirect pharyngoscopy, laryngoscopy, exfoliative cytology, barium swallow, chest x-ray and bone scan.

HPV testing

  • For cancers of the throat, biopsy samples are often tested to see if HPV infection is present.
  • This information can help predict the probable course of the cancer; for people whose cancers are linked to HPV, they tend to do better than those whose cancers are not.

Bone scan

Dental Exam

  • If radiation is part of the treatment plan for oral cancer, a dental exam beforehand by a prosthodontist is usually recommended.[9]
