          Abstract

          Fundamento: el cáncer bucal representa un significativo reto a nivel mundial y resulta necesario el conocimiento y utilización de medios auxiliares de diagnóstico. Objetivo: evaluar la eficacia del azul de toluidina y lugol en el diagnóstico precoz del cáncer bucal. Método: se realizó un ensayo clínico fase II multicéntrico, abierto y no secuencial. El universo de estudio se constituyó por ciento ochenta y dos pacientes de ambos sexos con lesiones cancerizables del complejo bucal que acudieron a las consultas de Diagnóstico Precoz del Cáncer Bucal de los Hospitales Manuel Ascunce Doménech y María Curie de Camagüey entre enero del 2005 y enero del 2010. El número de lesiones analizadas se calculó según la fórmula para tamaños muéstrales correspondientes al diseño de poblaciones infinitas, obteniéndose una muestra de dos ciento sesenta y siete lesiones. Resultados: para el azul de toluidina se encontró una sensibilidad (S) del 93%, especificidad (E) del 98%, valor predictivo positivo (VPP) del 84%, valor predictivo negativo (VPN) del 99%, eficacia global (Eg) del 97%, y razón de verosimilitud positiva y negativa (LR+ y LR-) de 44.4 y 0.06 respectivamente. Para el lugol: S=90%, E=92%, VPP=60%, VPN=98%, Eg=92%, LR+=12.8 y LR-=0.1. Cuando se combinaron ambas tinciones con el requerimiento de que fueran positivas lo más significativo fue el aumento en la especificidad. Conclusiones: se concluye planteando la alta eficacia de las tinciones en el diagnóstico precoz del cáncer bucal.

          Background: the oral cancer represents a significant challenge at world level and it is necessary the knowledge and use of auxiliary diagnostic tools. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of the toluidine blue and lugol in the precocious diagnosis of oral cancer. Method: a multicentric phase II, open and not sequential clinical trial was performed. The study universe was constituted by one-hundred eighty-two patients of both sexes with cancerigenic lesions of the oral complex assisted at the consultations of Precocious Diagnostic of oral Cancer in the Hospitals Manuel Ascunce Domenech and María Curie from Camagüey between January 2005 and January 2010. The number of analyzed lesions was calculated according to the sample sizes formula corresponding to the design of infinite populations, being obtained a sample of two-hundred sixty-seven lesions. Results: for the toluidine blue was found a sensibility (S) of 93%, specificity (E) of 98%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 84%, negative predictive value (NPV) of 99%, global effectiveness (GE) of 97%, and reason of positive and negative verisimilitude (LR+ and LR -) of 44.4 and 0.06 respectively. For the lugol: S=90%, E=92%, PPV=60%, NPV=98%, GE=92%, LR+=12.8 and LR-=0.1. When both tinctions were combined with the requirement of being positive the most significant was the increase in specificity. Conclusions: it is concluded the high effectiveness of the tinctions in the precocious diagnosis of the oral cancer.

          Critical evaluation of diagnostic aids for the detection of oral cancer.

          Historically, the screening of patients for signs of oral cancer and precancerous lesions has relied upon the conventional oral examination. A variety of commercial diagnostic aids and adjunctive techniques are available to potentially assist in the screening of healthy patients for evidence of otherwise occult cancerous change or to assess the biologic potential of clinically abnormal mucosal lesions. This manuscript systematically and critically examines the literature associated with current oral cancer screening and case-finding aids or adjuncts such as toluidine blue, brush cytology, tissue reflectance and autofluorescence. The characteristics of an ideal screening test are outlined and the authors pose several questions for clinicians and scientists to consider in the evaluation of current and future studies of oral cancer detection and diagnosis. Although the increased public awareness of oral cancer made possible by the marketing of recently-introduced screening adjuncts is commendable, the tantalizing implication that such technologies may improve detection of oral cancers and precancers beyond conventional oral examination alone has yet to be rigorously confirmed.

            Adjunctive techniques for oral cancer examination and lesion diagnosis: a systematic review of the literature.

            Adjunctive techniques that may facilitate the early detection of oral premalignant and malignant lesions (OPML) have emerged in the past decades. The authors undertook a systematic review of the English-language literature to evaluate the effectiveness of toluidine blue (TB), ViziLite Plus with TBlue (Zila Pharmaceuticals, Phoenix), ViziLite (Zila Pharmaceuticals), Microlux DL (AdDent, Danbury, Conn.), Orascoptic DK (Orascoptic, a Kerr Company, Middleton, Wis.), VELscope (LED Dental, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada) and OralCDx (Oral CDx Laboratories, Suffern, N.Y.) brush biopsy. They abstracted data relating to study design, sampling and characteristics of the study group, interventions, reported outcomes and diagnostic accuracy of adjunctive aids from 23 articles meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria, including availability of histologic outcomes. The largest evidence base was for TB. A limited number of studies was available for ViziLite, ViziLite Plus with TBlue and OralCDx. Studies of VELscope have been conducted primarily to assess the margins of lesions in known OPML. The authors identified no studies of Microlux DL or Orascoptic DK. Study designs had various limitations in applicability to the general practice setting, including use of higher-risk populations and expert examiners. There is evidence that TB is effective as a diagnostic adjunct for use in high-risk populations and suspicious mucosal lesions. OralCDx is useful in assessment of dysplastic changes in clinically suspicious lesions; however, there are insufficient data meeting the inclusion criteria to assess usefulness in innocuous mucosal lesions. Overall, there is insufficient evidence to support or refute the use of visually based examination adjuncts. Practical Implications. Given the lack of data on the effectiveness of adjunctive cancer detection techniques in general dental practice settings, clinicians must rely on a thorough oral mucosal examination supported by specialty referral and/or tissue biopsy for OPML diagnosis.

              Lugol's dye spray chromoendoscopy establishes early diagnosis of esophageal cancer in patients with primary head and neck cancer.

              Patients with primary head and neck cancer show a predisposition to develop esophageal cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate in these patients: the prevalence of esophageal cancer comparing the value of chromoendoscopy using Lugol's solution examination to standard endoscopy, in the early diagnosis of esophageal cancer.
