Check oral cancer images during surgery using a special camera
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special in-mouth imaging tool can capture clear images of oral cancer before surgery, compared with the final lab diagnosis from tissue (pathology). If the images match the pathology, it could help doctors better assess tumors using real-time imaging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of oral squamous cell cancer from a biopsy
- You are scheduled for oral cancer surgery with the MSK Head and Neck Service
- You are able to sign informed consent
- You are 18 years or older
- Your tumor location must be in an area the imaging device can reach

This Phase 2 study tests a special camera and dye during surgery to help surgeons confirm they removed all cancer at the edge of the removed tissue. If it works, it may lower the chance of cancer being left behind after oral cavity or oropharynx squamous cell cancer surgery.
This study tests a special imaging scan (photoacoustic imaging) to help doctors look at head and neck cancer before treatment. It’s for people who have not had first-line therapy yet and will be starting radiotherapy.
This trial uses a special light-based scanner (OCT) and artificial intelligence to help diagnose early signs of mouth cancer or precancer. It aims to see if this combination can make diagnosis easier and more accurate.
This Phase 2 trial tests a special light-tracking medicine (cRGD-ZW800-1) to help surgeons see oral cancer during surgery. The goal is to improve how well the tumor is found and removed while keeping side effects manageable.
This study uses a special dye and camera imaging while you have surgery or a biopsy to remove a mouth lesion. The goal is to better visualize the lesion during the operation, which may help doctors guide care more accurately.
This trial tests a high-resolution PET-CT scan done during surgery to help surgeons see exactly where the cancer ends. It may help make sure all cancer is removed while saving healthy tissue.
