Ultrasound of the tongue for oral cancer
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
