Conditions

Oral cancer Oral cancer, 5-aminolevilinic acid, photodynamic diagnosis

Interventions

One hour prior to biopsy and cytology, dissolve 1.5 grams of Araglio Granules in 50 mL of water and place on gauze around the lesion to allow penetration. The lesion is then observed with a camera equ

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for detection of oral cancer by comparing the results of ALA-PDD with histopathological and cytological diagnosis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for detection of oral potentially malignant disorder and precancerous lesion by comparing the results of ALA-PDD with histopathological diagnosis. Differentiation from other benign diseases.
