3D MRI study of facial nerves in parotid tumors
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a parotid tumor (salivary gland tumor) that was found on other scans like ultrasound or CT
- You may or may not have had a biopsy (fine needle aspiration) result—either is okay
- You can safely have MRI, meaning no metal implants or other reasons MRI is unsafe for you
- You can receive MRI contrast if needed (not severe kidney problems or a history of severe contrast allergy)
- You are able to lie still and cooperate during the MRI scan and complete it
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent

This trial is studying how MRI images can help predict response to a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery for head and neck cancer. It aims to improve treatment planning for patients with this type of cancer.
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 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.
This study uses MRI scans to check for damage to the parotid gland (a saliva gland near the ear) caused by radiation therapy for nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to help doctors better protect this gland and improve quality of life during and after treatment.
This study uses a stronger MRI machine (3 Tesla) to take detailed pictures of skin and face muscles in people with facial paralysis. It may help doctors better understand what changes happen in the face muscles over time.
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.
