We now know that oral cancer claims one life every hour in the U.S. — more than the number of lives lost to skin cancer, cervical cancer or Hodgkin’s disease, and it is of great concern to Dr. Thomas. Especially when oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when caught early. Because early detection is the key to successful outcomes, Dr. Thomas has incorporated ViziLite, a new, FDA-cleared medical technology for screening of oral cancer, into the standard of care of our patients, to ensure that they receive the most comprehensive oral cancer screening possible. ViziLite is a simple, painless and non-invasive technology that improves the doctor’s ability to visualize, evaluate and monitor suspicious areas at their earliest stages, before they can progress to something far more serious, and potentially life-threatening. ViziLite helps the Dr. Thomas see what he can’t see with the unaided eye. On a patient’s first visit, and at every annual check-up, we will be performing a ViziLite oral cancer screening.
