Cheek cells can detect lung cancer, says study

Washington, A study presented at Chest 2005, the 71st annual international scientific assembly of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), claims that inner cheek cells can be used to identify lung cancer in high risk patients. Scientists have found that buccal mucosa, or cells scraped from the inner part of the cheek, may contain information that separates patients with lung cancer from high-risk negatives, a finding that may support cheek cell analysis as a simple and inexpensive early screening method for patients at risk for lung cancer.
