Personalized surgery planning for early mouth cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study helps doctors plan surgery more individually for early-stage oral (mouth) squamous cell carcinoma. It focuses on using tumor features found during evaluation to guide surgical decisions, aiming to improve treatment accuracy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are of Han Chinese race
- You have a confirmed mouth squamous cell carcinoma on pathology (biopsy results)
- Your cancer is in the front part of the mouth (top/bottom areas up to the first two-thirds of the tongue) or nearby mouth tissues
- The main tumor is 4 cm or smaller and is not found to spread to lymph nodes or distant organs on exam and MRI
- You and your family agree to join, and you do not have serious memory/thinking problems that affect consent
- You will only receive the study’s planned surgical approach (not additional cancer treatments at the same time)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This Phase 2 trial tests a chemotherapy plan given first (before surgery) for people with oral squamous cell carcinoma that has specific cancer markers and lymph node involvement. It aims to shrink or control the cancer so treatment after may work better.
This study helps doctors create a personalized plan for follow-up treatment after surgery for advanced head and neck cancer. Researchers will use imaging scans and patient data to predict which patients need extra treatment and which ones can be monitored closely instead.
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation (SBRT) to a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced mouth or throat cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor more effectively before removal.
This study tests whether a personalized approach to radiation therapy after surgery, guided by a special lymph node biopsy (sentinel node biopsy), can effectively treat mouth cancer while reducing side effects. It is for people whose cancer is on one side of the mouth and has not spread to the other side of the neck or beyond.
This trial studies giving chemotherapy first, then removing the tumor with surgery and follow-up radiation for certain cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma. It may help shrink and control the cancer before and after surgery, depending on how well the tumor can be fully removed.
This trial compares two ways of checking whether early oral cavity squamous cell cancer has spread to neck lymph nodes. It tests whether sentinel lymph node biopsy can find spread as well as standard neck dissection, while potentially reducing more extensive surgery for some people.
