VELscope

VELscope® Early Oral Disease Detection System

The VELscope is the first tool of its kind to help us provide early detection of suspicious tissue in the mouth. Such problem areas could lead to oral cancer. Early discovery can save lives.

The VELscope system is painless, non-invasive, with no rinses or stains required, and only takes one or two minutes.

Facts about oral cancer:

• Oral cancer kills one person every hour, 24 hours a day in the United States
• Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer in males in the U.S.
• Unlike several other cancers, the survival rate for oral cancer has remained unchanged for decades
• The overall 5-year survival rate for oral cancer is 52%, but when discovered early, it increases to over 80%
• Unfortunately, only 35% of oral cancer cases are diagnosed in the early stages.

The VELscope system allows us to provide this critical early detection.
