29、ryCurrent State:Dr.Sigmund Freud,Father of PsychoanalysisReproduced from The Oral Cancer Foundation websiteIn 1923,when he was 67 years old,Freuds very heavy cigar smoking began to produce outward indications of the painful cancer that would kill him.Freud developed a growth in his mouth that later
30、turned out to be cancer of the soft palate.He waited years before showing anyone the growth in his mouth.An operation was eventually performed the first of thirty-three operations for cancer of the jaw and oral cavity which he endured during the sixteen remaining years of his life.At the advanced st
31、ages of his long disease,he had to use a special prosthesis,which covered the defect in his palate.He called this prosthetic appliance“the monster”.Freud died of oral cancer(physician-assisted)in 1939,at the age of eighty-three.He smoked until the end.56Oral Cancer+POC Testing in DentistryCurrent Sc

52、ts can run all tests at this level and below.Moderately Complex:One level below high complexity Many physicians offices are certified to run moderately complex tests.Labs certified to run tests at this level can also run tests designated below this level.Waived:Lowest level of test requiring ahealth
53、 care professional It is fairly straightforward for a health care professional to get certified.The tests were discussing here are mostly at this level.OTC:These are tests that can be run in a practice or in a home.66Running Tests in the Practice vs.Sending to a LabSome dental professionals will be
54、more comfortable with collecting the sample and sending it to a lab for running the test;others will want to collect the sample and run the test completely in the practice.Further,as dental professionals will rarely be certified to run tests higher than waived,tests designated as moderately or highl
55、y complex must be sent to a certified lab to be run.Traditionally,tests run by complex analyzers in labs have been more accurate and the decision to run them in the practice vs.the lab has been a trade-off between convenience,cost,and speed vs.higher accuracy.Today,new POC tests run in the practice
56、can often rival the performance of lab-run tests while not sacrificing the convenience.67Running Tests in the Practice vs.Sending to a LabWhats important to appreciate is that CMS(Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services)considers any place a test is run to be a lab.When running a waived test in a
57、dental practice,you are operating as a CLIA certified lab and,as noted above,must have a CLIA Waived certificate.Generally,collecting a test sample requires no special certification,i.e.,a licensed health care professional can collect the sample irrespective of the designation of the test.If you wis
58、h to only collect samples and send them to a laboratory to be run,you do not need a CLIA certificate,as you are not operating as a lab.Said another way,the certification of tests has only to do with the running of tests,not the collection and transfer of test samples.*See next slide for more informa
