Analyzing Tongue Cancer Tissue During Surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study examines tongue cancer tissue samples removed during surgery using special imaging techniques. Researchers hope this analysis helps improve how doctors understand and treat tongue cancer in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have squamous cell carcinoma (a common type of cancer) of the tongue
- Surgery is your first treatment for this cancer (no chemotherapy or radiation before surgery)
- Your cancer is classified as stage T1, T2, T3, or T4 (based on tumor size and spread)
- Your cancer has not spread to distant parts of your body
- You have not received chemotherapy or radiation before your surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how tongue cancer appears on scans and in lab tests before any treatment. The goal is to better understand the disease and possibly find new ways to track it.
This study compares ways of treating early squamous cell cancer in the tonsil or the tongue base, using either radiation therapy, transoral (through-the-mouth) surgery, or both. It aims to see which approach works best while keeping cancer under control.
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.
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy after surgery helps prevent the return of early-stage tongue cancer in patients who have certain risk factors, such as nerve invasion or poorly differentiated cells. It is for people whose cancer was limited to the front two-thirds of the tongue and was completely removed.
This study is testing a new way to take pictures of the tongue using a special ultrasound probe that goes inside the mouth. The goal is to see how well this method can show tumor details before surgery.
This trial tests whether giving radiation after surgery can lower the risk of the cancer coming back for people with oral tongue cancer that has specific high-risk features but not advanced spread. It aims to find the best treatment plan for patients with certain tumor characteristics.
