Study on better surgical guidance for head and neck cancer re-resection
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a new augmented reality tool to help surgeons remove leftover tumor tissue after the first surgery. It might make re-resection more precise and improve cancer clearance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether using augmented reality (AR) – a technology that overlays digital images onto the real world – during liver tumor surgery is safe and practical. It aims to help surgeons remove tumors more precisely, which could lead to better outcomes for you.
This study tests whether a virtual reality (3D computer) model of surgery can help surgeons improve how head and neck cancer operations are planned and done. You may benefit from more personalized surgical planning, if you’re eligible for standard surgery.
This study tests a new augmented reality (AR) navigation system that helps surgeons see your brain images overlaid on your head during surgery. It may help make brain tumor or blood vessel surgery more precise and safer.
This trial tests whether augmented reality can help doctors locate tumors that cannot be felt during breast cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for a non-palpable breast lesion and need an MRI, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether using augmented reality (a computer overlay) during robot-assisted surgery for prostate cancer can help the surgeon remove the cancer more precisely. It may be an option for people with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer who have good erectile function.
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.
