Critical Evaluation of Diagnostic Aids for the Detection of Oral Cancer
TL;DR: 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 and poses several questions for clinicians and scientists to consider in the evaluation of current and future studies of oral cancer detection and diagnosis.

Screening programmes for the early detection and prevention of oral cancer
TL;DR: There is evidence that a visual examination as part of a population-based screening programme reduces the mortality rate of oral cancer in high-risk individuals, but there is no evidence to support the use of adjunctive technologies like toluidine blue, brush biopsy or fluorescence imaging as a screening tool to reduce oral cancer mortality.

Trends in oral cancer rates in the United States, 1973-1996.
TL;DR: There was little change in early detection of oral cancer or in 5-year relative survival rates between 1973-84 and 1985-96 in nine SEER regions, which suggests a deficiency in professional and public education regarding early diagnosis of Oral cancer.
