New flap surgery for mouth or throat cancer reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a new surgical reconstruction method can improve outcomes for people with oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (a type of head and neck cancer). The goal is to rebuild the area using a tissue flap while reducing problems where the tissue is taken from.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed squamous cell cancer of the mouth or throat (oral cavity or oropharynx).
- Your cancer stage fits T0–T4a, with no distant spread (M0).
- Your surgeon believes you need a free skin-and-fascia flap reconstruction using your own tissue.
- You’re an adult (18+) and can have surgery, including anesthesia/sedation.
- You must be able to have CT scans with contrast dye (iodinated contrast).
- You must be covered by social health insurance in France and be willing/able to give consent and follow study visits.

This Phase 2 trial compares two standard cancer treatments—radiation or surgery through the mouth—for HPV-negative oropharyngeal throat cancer. It aims to find out which approach works better while keeping side effects and quality of life acceptable.
This study helps teams plan surgery for people who need part of the lower jaw removed and rebuilt using special tissue flaps. It mainly looks at whether having specific pre-surgery CT images is possible and useful for reconstruction planning.
This trial studies a planned, same-day (outpatient) surgery approach to find and check cancer spread to nearby lymph nodes in early-stage mouth and throat squamous cell cancer. It may help doctors remove the right lymph nodes and decide on any needed further treatment.
This trial tests a special radiation technique for people who have had reconstructive surgery for oral cavity cancer. The goal is to see if we can spare the flap (the rebuilt tissue) from high radiation doses to improve healing and quality of life.
This trial tests a new surgical flap (using tissue from the scalp) to repair defects in the mouth after cancer surgery. It may be an option for patients with certain jawbone defects that haven't been operated on before in a specific area.
This trial studies a new way to rebuild the stomach after surgery for early-stage stomach cancer. It aims to improve recovery and quality of life after the tumor is removed.
