BACKGROUND: Although survival rate and quality of life are improved if patients with oral carcinoma can be detected early, however, such lesions are usually asymptomatic; therefore, it is hard to raise awareness. Screening has proved to be cost-effective for early detection. METHODS: Sixty-two patients with oral carcinomas and 555 patients with oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) who were detected through screening were examined the relationship between clinicopathological features and follow-up outcomes. RESULTS: The 5-year cumulative cancer-free interval rate was 94.1%, and the annual malignant transformation rate was 1.16%. The rate of interval carcinoma development from Candida hyperplasia, oral submucous fibrosis, homogeneous leukoplakia, non-homogenous leukoplakia, and verrucous hyperplasia, was 13.6%, 5.7%, 4.6%, 12.1%, and 21.3%, respectively. Significant independent risk factors for interval carcinoma development were heavy betel quid chewing, verrucous hyperplasia, and surgery refusal. CONCLUSIONS: Well-designed risk assessment, treatment, and surveillance program could lead to earlier cancer detection and thereby reduce mortality and morbidity.
