This trial tests whether patients with early-stage oral cancer who have surgery and lymph-node removal can skip radiation to the neck if certain favorable conditions are met. The goal is to reduce side effects like difficulty swallowing while keeping cancer control strong.
This trial tests a special dye (Lipiodal) injected during surgery to help doctors see the tumor area more clearly on scans. This may make radiation therapy more precise and reduce side effects.
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy, called adaptive radiation boost, for people with head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can better target the cancer and possibly improve outcomes.
This trial tests injecting a new drug (RiMO-301) into the tumor, then giving a short course of radiation with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab before surgery for head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a gel called RADA16 to see if it helps the healing of a cavity in the ear bone after a specific type of ear surgery (canal wall down mastoidectomy). The goal is to help the skin lining grow back faster and more completely.
This trial tests a new gel (RADA16) placed on the tonsil area after surgery to see if it helps reduce pain and speed healing. It is for adults having a standard tonsillectomy.
