Oral CDX
Brush Biopsy Makes Houston’s Oral Cancer Testing Easy
It’s painless!
This doesn’t look like a toothbrush. And it’s not! It’s a simple, yet remarkably effective deviceused to screen
for oral cancer.
Patients often have small “spots” in their mouths that, if left untreated, could turn into cancer cells. Using the CDX, Dr. Mitchmore
can painlessly take a small sample of cellsfrom the spot for testing. If they’re found to be pre-cancerous, the spot can be easily removed – years before it has the potential to do serious harm.
