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.

- You must be able to have surgery as part of your cancer care.
- You must agree to take part in the study.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have other serious health problems that are not well controlled.

This study is testing a new, simple test that looks for signs of oral or throat cancer. If you have a suspicious spot or symptom, this test might help find out if it's cancer.
This trial uses a special light-based scanner (OCT) and artificial intelligence to help diagnose early signs of mouth cancer or precancer. It aims to see if this combination can make diagnosis easier and more accurate.
This trial studies giving chemotherapy first, then removing the tumor with surgery and follow-up radiation for certain cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma. It may help shrink and control the cancer before and after surgery, depending on how well the tumor can be fully removed.
This trial tests whether surgeons can use ultrasound during surgery to better guide the removal of oral cancer. It may help ensure all cancer is removed while sparing healthy tissue.
This study tests a new ultrasound method to help doctors identify throat cancer earlier. You would undergo imaging scans to see if ultrasound can better detect cancer in the back of the throat.
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.
