According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, approximately 30,000 people are newly diagnosed with oral cancer every year in the United States, with one person dying from this disease every hour of every day. Early detection of oral abnormalities means early intervention and simpler, less invasive treatment. Best of all, if found early, oral cancer treatment is 80% to 90% successful.
Even experts cannot clinically differentiate a precancer or early oral cancer from a benign white or red spot with just a visual exam. The
OralCDx Oral Brush Biopsy Kit allows you to easily and painlessly test common, unexplained spots that may in fact be precancerous or cancerous. The brush biopsy helps rule out the chance that these spots might be something serious.
OralCDx provides everything you need to perform a painless oral brush biopsy in minutes at chairside. Simply mail the slide and test forms in the convenient prepaid mailer to the CDx lab where specially-trained pathologists will analyze the specimen with assistance of advanced computer analysis. OralCDx cost is reimbursable by many national dental insurance companies, including Cigna.
Each OralCDx biopsy test includes a sealed, sterile biopsy brush, two fixative packages, a glass slide and slide holder, a prepaid mailer box, a test requisition form, billing and reimbursement information, and instructions. ADA accepted. Includes 12 complete biopsy tests and instructions.
