What Are Precancerous Oral Lesions?

Precancerous oral lesions are areas of abnormal tissue in the mouth that display early signs of cellular changes, potentially leading to cancer if left untreated. These lesions often present as white or red patches, ulcers, or thickened areas of tissue and can appear on the lips, tongue, gums, inner cheeks, or the floor of the mouth. Early detection and treatment are crucial for preventing progression.

Common Types of Precancerous Oral Lesions

Leukoplakia: A white patch or plaque that forms on the mucous membranes of the mouth—while not all cancerous, they have the potential to develop into cancer, especially if they persist over time or show signs of dysplasia (abnormal cell growth)
Erythroplakia: A red patch in the mouth, which is typically painless but often more dangerous than leukoplakia, as it has a higher likelihood of containing precancerous or cancerous cells
Oral submucous fibrosis: A chronic condition that results in the stiffening of the oral mucosa and can lead to reduced mouth opening, pain, and a heightened risk of oral cancer
Oral lichen planus: A chronic inflammatory condition that can cause white, lace-like patches or red, swollen areas inside the mouth, which may increase the risk of developing oral cancer

Precancerous Oral Lesion Treatment in West Palm Beach

Precancerous oral lesions are abnormal tissue changes in the mouth that have the potential to develop into cancer if left untreated. Early identification and treatment of these lesions can significantly reduce the risk of progression to oral cancer.

Dr. Quimby and the team at AQ Surgery offer a range of advanced diagnostic tools and treatment options designed to address precancerous lesions effectively. Dr. Quimby’s multidisciplinary approach ensures each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique condition.

Custom Virtual Surgery Planning

Dr. Quimby uses custom virtual surgery planning to precisely remove precancerous oral lesions while minimizing the impact on surrounding tissues. This method, which combines advanced 3D imaging and surgical simulation, ensures complete removal of lesions, reduces recurrence risk, and preserves healthy tissue.

Sentinel Node Biopsy

For cases where lesions may have spread, a sentinel node biopsy helps determine if cancer cells have reached nearby lymph nodes. This minimally invasive procedure guides further treatment and can prevent unnecessary extensive surgery if no spread is detected.

Regenerative Reconstruction for Advanced Lesions

When larger lesions require extensive removal, regenerative reconstruction using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), mesenchymal stem cells, and exosomes promotes faster healing and tissue regeneration, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Precancer Lesions Gene Analysis

Proteocyte AI offers advanced gene analysis to identify high-risk precancerous lesions. This non-invasive tool predicts cancerous progression, allowing for early intervention and reducing the need for more invasive treatments.

Cancer Gene Analysis

Caris molecular profiling provides personalized insights into the genetic profile of advanced lesions. This analysis helps tailor treatments to target specific molecular changes, reducing the risks of cancer progression and ensuring a personalized treatment plan.

Nerve Reconstruction After Lesion Removal

Dr. Quimby’s nerve reconstruction expertise ensures minimal functional loss for lesions near nerves. Microsurgical techniques restore sensation and movement, which is critical for areas like the jaw and tongue, supporting eating, speaking, and overall quality of life.

Throat Cancer Monitoring With Blood Work

Signatera blood tests detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to monitor for cancer recurrence after treatment. This non-invasive test helps catch early signs of cancerous lesions, enabling timely interventions and reducing treatment complications.

Preventing Oral Cancer

While early detection and treatment are critical, prevention is always the best course of action when it comes to oral cancer. Dr. Quimby encourages patients to take proactive steps to reduce their risk of developing precancerous oral lesions. These steps include the following:

Quitting smoking and avoiding tobacco products
Limiting alcohol consumption
Protecting lips from sun exposure by using lip balms with SPF
Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups
Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and essential nutrients
Getting vaccinated for HPV to reduce the risk of HPV-related cancers
