Oral cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the mouth, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and throat. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment, and various technologies and methods are used for screening and diagnosis. One such technology is GOCCLES.

GOCCLES, short for “Glasses for Oral Cancer CLinical Early detection System,” is an advanced optical system that aids in the early visualization of oral cancer indicators. It utilizes specialized filters and light sources to enhance the contrast between healthy and potentially abnormal tissues, making it easier for healthcare professionals to identify areas that may require further investigation.

GOCCLES operates on the principle of fluorescence visualization. By emitting specific wavelengths of light, it highlights fluorescence patterns that may indicate early signs of oral abnormalities. This non-invasive tool allows for a more comprehensive examination, enabling healthcare providers to detect potential issues at an earlier stage.
