Scans can pick up some very small things, if I remember correctly its 2cm or anything bigger than a grain of rice. Heres a link from our main OCF website that will give you more info about how oral cancer (OC) is diagnosed. Our main site has page after page of correct medical info all about OC, diagnosis, treatments, recovery, etc. You can read for hours all about OC.
