Transcription profiling by array of oral squamous cell cancer (OSCC) surgical margins defined by narrow band imaging.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to provide molecular evidence that surgical margin definition using narrow band imaging (NBI) resulted in more complete OSCC excision that conventional while light (WL) imaging. Samples were taken prospectively from 18 patients undergoing surgical resection for intraoral SCC (excluding lip, pharynx and hypopharynx). Biopsies were taken from the tumour and from 5mm beyond each of the abnormal tissue margins defined by WL and NBI. Transcriptional profiling was performed by microarray.
