“Oral cancer survival is directly linked to how early it is found, yet our current diagnostic pathway is blunt — most patients with a suspicious lesion end up having an invasive biopsy even when the overwhelming likelihood is that it is benign. This test changes that. It gives clinicians a rapid, accurate, and non-invasive way to triage patients, and crucially, it can be repeated.”
What Muy-Teck Teh has said
“A key limitation, however, is that perceived drink temperature is inherently subjective, and it remains unclear whether individuals who tolerate or prefer very hot drinks have altered thermosensation or mucosal sensitivity that might itself reflect underlying biological predisposition to squamous cell carcinoma and lead them to prefer hotter drinks.”
