Abstract
India has one of the highest rates of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in the world, with an incidence of 15 per 100,000 and more than 70,000 deaths per year. The problem is exacerbated by lack of medical infrastructure and routine screening, especially in rural areas. This collaboration recently developed, and clinically validated, a low-cost, portable and easy-to-use platform for intraoral photodynamic therapy (PDT) specifically engineered for use in global health settings. Here, we explore the implementation of our low-cost PDT system in conjunction with a small, handheld smartphone-coupled, multichannel fluorescence and white-light oral cancer imaging probe, which was also developed for global health settings. Our study aimed to use this mobile intraoral imaging device for treatment guidance and monitoring PDT using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PS; PpIX) fluorescence. A total of 12 patients with 14 lesions having moderately/well-differentiated micro-invasive OSCC lesions (<2 cm diameter, depth <5 mm) were systemically administered with three doses of 20mg/kg ALA (total 60mg/kg). Lesion site PpIX and auto fluorescence was analyzed before/after ALA administration, and again after light delivery (fractionated, total 100 J/cm^{2} of 630nm red LED light). Quantification of relative PpIX fluorescence enables lesion area segmentation to improve guidance of light delivery and reports extent of photobleaching. These results indicate the utility of this approach for image-guided PDT and treatment monitoring while also laying groundwork for an integrated approach, combining cancer screening and treatment with the same hardware.
