Detailed imaging scan before surgery for oral or bone cancer
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests an advanced PET/CT scan that looks closely at the edges of your tumor before surgery to help the surgeon remove all the cancer. You will receive a special dye that helps the scan see the tumor better, and the scan results may help guide your surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You must have one of these types of cancer: oral squamous cell carcinoma, soft tissue sarcoma, or osteosarcoma.
- You must be scheduled to have surgery to remove your cancer.
- You must not have had radiation therapy to the tumor area before.
- You must not have had too much radiation exposure from research studies in the past year.
- You must have a normal blood sugar level on the day of surgery.

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 is testing a combination of low-dose radiation, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy for people with advanced oral cancer that hasn't been treated before. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer and possibly improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) and two standard chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and albumin-bound paclitaxel) before surgery for advanced oral cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy and targeted radiation before surgery for osteosarcoma that has spread to the lungs. It aims to see if this approach can help shrink or control the lung tumors and make surgery more effective.
This trial tests a high-resolution PET-CT scan done during surgery to help surgeons see exactly where the cancer ends. It may help make sure all cancer is removed while saving healthy tissue.
This trial uses a special PET-CT scanner to take high-resolution images of cancer tumors that have been surgically removed. The goal is to see how well these images match the results from standard lab tests, such as pathology, and to track long-term outcomes.
