Cost-Effectiveness Of Mobile Phone Imaging Teledentistry (Mpit) For Early Detection Of Oral Cancer In Malaysia: A Markov Decision Analysis Approach

Although numerous national oral cancer screening initiatives are carried out in Malaysia, patients are still being disproportionately diagnosed at later stages, leading to substantial social and economic burdens. To overcome these challenges, a novel application called MeMoSA® was developed by incor...
