Skin color matching in head and neck reconstruction
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to match skin color during reconstructive surgery on the head and neck. It may help improve how the surgical site looks and how you feel about your appearance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You need reconstructive surgery on your head or neck, and the surgeon decides you are a good candidate.
- You have a skin wound that can be treated with a skin graft or a special skin repair technique.
- You can understand and fill out English questionnaires about your recovery.
- You are willing to have photos taken of your surgical site for the study.

This study looks at whether certain blood tests can help predict how head and neck cancer will respond to treatment. If you are planning surgery for squamous cell cancer of the throat, voice box, or mouth, this trial may offer more information about your outlook.
This study looks at how well people do after “salvage” surgery (planned surgery after prior treatment) for recurrent or residual squamous cell cancer in the head and neck. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most, including how this surgery affects survival and day-to-day function.
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 study looks at healthy people who donate stem cells to see how their genetics and health affect the body's response during donation. It aims to make the donation process safer and better understood.
This study tests a surgical technique to rebuild neck veins during lymph node removal. It aims to prevent lymphedema (swelling) in head and neck cancer patients who need radiation after surgery.
This trial studies whether a new surgical reconstruction method can improve outcomes for people with oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (a type of head and neck cancer). The goal is to rebuild the area using a tissue flap while reducing problems where the tissue is taken from.
