Ultrasound guidance for oral cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove oral cancer that is stage T1, T2, or T3.
- Your cancer type is squamous cell carcinoma (a common form of oral cancer).
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your cancer is visible on ultrasound.
- You have not had radiation therapy for oral cancer before.
- You can understand verbal or written information about the study.

This study tests whether using mixed reality technology during surgery helps doctors remove oral cancer more precisely and rebuild the area better. You may be asked to join if you are having surgery to remove oral cancer and rebuild the affected area with your own tissue.
This study compares doing surgery alone versus giving a combination of focused radiation (SBRT) and chemotherapy with an immunotherapy drug before surgery for mouth or throat cancer. The goal is to see if the pre-surgery treatment makes the cancer shrink more and improves outcomes.
This trial studies using a robot-assisted operation through the mouth to diagnose or treat certain non-cancer (benign) and cancer (malignant) tumors in the head and neck. It may help some people avoid more invasive surgery by using an approach that reaches the throat and voice box area through the mouth.
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.
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 trial tests whether adding radiation therapy after surgery helps prevent the return of early-stage tongue cancer in patients who have certain risk factors, such as nerve invasion or poorly differentiated cells. It is for people whose cancer was limited to the front two-thirds of the tongue and was completely removed.
