Herein, we investigate a possibility of clinical application of narrow-band imaging (NBI) endoscopy, which is a brand new optical technique that allows non-invasive visualization of the microvessels at the organ surface. We found that NBI technology could be a promising and powerful tool for identifying carcinomas at an earlier stage in head and neck mucosal sites. This may open a new door in the field of head and neck oncology. |
