Modern Radiological Diagnostic Methods for Oral Mucosal Melanoma: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives

Oral mucosal melanoma (OMM) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis and high metastatic potential. Its subtle clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges often result in late-stage detection, complicating treatment. Advanced imaging techniques, such as PET and MRI, have significantly improved staging accuracy. Additionally, noninvasive methods and molecular profiling show promise for early detection and personalized treatments. Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of
