Tongue Cancer Imaging and Lab Study
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue (a specific type of mouth cancer).
- You have not had any surgery or other cancer treatment (like chemotherapy) for this tumor yet.
- Your tongue tumor is at least 15 mm (a bit larger than half an inch) across.
- You are able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants, pacemaker, or severe claustrophobia).
- You are 18 years old or older.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study examines tongue cancer tissue samples removed during surgery using special imaging techniques. Researchers hope this analysis helps improve how doctors understand and treat tongue cancer in the future.
This study compares ways of treating early squamous cell cancer in the tonsil or the tongue base, using either radiation therapy, transoral (through-the-mouth) surgery, or both. It aims to see which approach works best while keeping cancer under control.
This study collects tissue from people with newly diagnosed head and neck squamous cell cancer and grows “mini tumor models” in the lab. The goal is to see how these models respond to new therapies, which may help guide more effective treatment choices in the future.
This trial tests whether giving radiation after surgery can lower the risk of the cancer coming back for people with oral tongue cancer that has specific high-risk features but not advanced spread. It aims to find the best treatment plan for patients with certain tumor characteristics.
This study uses a special tongue camera to see if the tongue can help doctors find stomach cancer early. It is looking for both people with newly diagnosed stomach cancer and healthy volunteers to compare tongue images.
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.
