Outdoor workers, from farmers to sailors to labourers, are exposed to large amounts of sunlight. With UV rays identified as a risk factor for oral cancer, it is important that practitioners can do as much as they can to help relevant patients lower the risk.

The BeVigilant OraFusion System from Vigilant Biosciences detects the two biomarkers associated with oral cancer and recommends whether to monitor the patient or investigate further - all in 15 minutes or less.

This simple and accurate assessment is captured through a quick and non-invasive saliva test. By recognising the low, medium or high risk of a patient developing oral cancer, practitioners can ensure that the threat is detected as early as possible. This can then give the patient more time to be successfully treated.

Exposure to UV may be an occupational hazard for some, but by using the BeVigilant OraFusion System, practitioners can detect the risk and help beat oral cancer.
