Ultrasound imaging for suspected throat cancer
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You're referred to a cancer clinic because imaging or symptoms suggest possible cancer in the back of your throat (oropharynx)
- You're 18 years or older
- You can understand the study and give informed consent
- You have not had oropharyngeal (throat) cancer before
- You have not received radiation treatment to your head or neck area

This trial tests if giving less radiation along with chemotherapy is safe and effective for people with HPV-positive throat cancer. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound (sound wave imaging) through the mouth helps doctors better diagnose a throat abscess—a pocket of infection near the tonsil. The goal is to see if this imaging method improves diagnosis accuracy and treatment decisions.
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.
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 is testing a new, simple test that looks for signs of oral or throat cancer. If you have a suspicious spot or symptom, this test might help find out if it's cancer.
This study uses special ultrasound imaging to look for early signs of how well radiation treatment is working in prostate, rectum, and head/neck cancers. It may help doctors spot response sooner and adjust care earlier if needed.
