Study of standard care for jawbone reconstruction after cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies current standard care for people who need jawbone reconstruction after cancer surgery. It aims to document the costs and outcomes of using a piece of bone from another part of the body (a free bone flap) to rebuild the face.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cancer of the mouth, upper jaw, or throat area.
- Your surgery will involve removing part of your jawbone and rebuilding it with a piece of bone from your leg or another site.
- Your cancer is locally advanced (T4a) but has not spread to distant organs (M0), though it may have spread to lymph nodes.
- You are 18 or older.
- You are covered by French Social Security.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the head/neck area before.

This study checks whether the “O-bridge protocol” helps people who need jaw surgery—either for osteonecrosis of the jaw or for oral/jaw tumors—followed by dental implant placement to support fixed teeth (not removable dentures). The goal is to improve your ability to eat, speak, and get a stable tooth replacement plan after surgery.
This trial tests a special radiation technique for people who have had reconstructive surgery for oral cavity cancer. The goal is to see if we can spare the flap (the rebuilt tissue) from high radiation doses to improve healing and quality of life.
This study is a “real-world” registry that follows people with jaw problems related to cancer or cancer treatment. It looks at how well jaw reconstruction with dental implants and fixed teeth works when removable dentures are not suitable.
This study is testing a new French questionnaire to measure how satisfied people are with their nose reconstruction after skin cancer removal. It will help doctors better understand what matters most to patients after this type of surgery.
This study collects real-world information from people undergoing jaw reconstruction after their jaw bone was damaged (from cancer and certain medicines). It may help improve future treatment planning by tracking surgical choices and outcomes.
This study helps teams plan surgery for people who need part of the lower jaw removed and rebuilt using special tissue flaps. It mainly looks at whether having specific pre-surgery CT images is possible and useful for reconstruction planning.
