A deep learning model using transfer learning achieved approximately 95% accuracy in detecting oral cancer from clinical photographs, with 94% sensitivity and 95% specificity on a test dataset of 750 oral lesion images. The model showed strong discriminative performance but requires further clinical validation before clinical use.
