The rationale for establishing a computerized tumor recall program as an adjunct to a diagnostic biopsy service to assist practitioners in instituting periodic reexamination of patients with oral lesions that have been diagnosed histologically as either premalignant or locally aggressive is given. The necessary forms, with a description of pertinent information, are described in conjunction with the proper sequential procedure for completing the forms before and after information has been submitted to a computer center.
