Did you know the global 5-year survival rate for oral cancer is only ~50%?
And nearly 70% of cases aren’t diagnosed until Stage 3 or 4—when treatment becomes far more complex and outcomes decline.
In North America alone, oral cancer takes one life every hour.
Oral cancer often begins as a precancerous lesion, which can appear anywhere in the mouth—on the lips, cheeks, tongue, gums, or palate. These lesions may show up as red, white, or mixed-colour patches. They often don’t hurt, don’t heal, and may go unnoticed until spotted during a routine dental exam.
To determine whether a lesion is a precancer (an OPMD), a biopsy is needed. This tissue sample is reviewed by a pathologist under the microscope through a process called histopathology.
That’s where STRATICYTE® can make a critical difference.
Using AI-driven biomarker analysis and digital pathology, STRATICYTE® supplements traditional histopathology by providing an objective, personalized 5-year oral cancer risk score.
Your STRATICYTE® report will clearly classify your lesion as low risk or elevated risk, giving your healthcare professional the clarity needed to make more confident, evidence-based decisions about your care.
Early detection saves lives. And having accurate risk information helps ensure timely intervention for high-risk patients while reducing unnecessary treatment for those at lower risk.
Ask your healthcare provider about STRATICYTE®.
