This study looks at the natural bacteria in and around head and neck tumors compared to healthy tissue. The goal is to understand if these bacteria affect cancer growth and treatment. By participating, you help researchers learn more about this type of cancer.
This trial tests a new treatment using a light-activated dye (methylene blue) that is injected into deep abscesses during normal drainage. The goal is to kill bacteria and reduce infection. This might help people who need drainage for a deep abscess, by possibly speeding recovery or improving outcomes.
This study tests whether draining a breast abscess with a needle and using antibiotics can treat it without surgery. It may be a gentler option for women with this condition.
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics after certain head and neck surgeries helps prevent infections. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) surgery that involves entering a normally clean area that may have some germs, like the mouth or throat.
