MRI study for salivary gland tumors
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial uses special MRI scans to learn how salivary gland tumors work in the body. It may help improve diagnosis and how tumors are evaluated without needing treatment yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a salivary gland growth (lesion) about 1 cubic centimeter in size
- You have not had any prior treatment for this salivary gland lesion
- You have no history of cancer except salivary gland tumors
- You can safely have an MRI (no MRI safety issues)
- You do not have known kidney (renal) disease
- You have not had radiation to the head and neck area before
- You are not pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at immune cells and substances in blood, saliva, and stool from people with salivary gland cancer. The goal is to find markers that could help predict how the disease behaves.
This trial tests special MRI scans to find warning signs of cancer that has returned or spread in the head and neck area. It may help doctors see these changes more clearly, which could improve treatment planning.
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
This study tests whether a special MRI scan (with a contrast dye) can help doctors better plan surgery for tumors in the salivary gland near the facial nerve. It may help surgical planning while avoiding unnecessary repeat imaging.
This trial tests if using an MRI to map saliva glands before radiation can help spare them, reducing dry mouth. It is for people with oropharynx cancer who will receive radiation with or without chemotherapy.
This trial tests a special 3D MRI picture method to evaluate the facial nerves in people with parotid (salivary gland) tumors. It may help your care team see facial nerve involvement more clearly, which can guide treatment planning.
