Tracking immune cells in facial surgery recovery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how immune cells change in the blood of people having major facial surgery with tissue flap reconstruction. It may help doctors understand recovery and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are being treated in the maxillofacial surgery department at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital.
- You are scheduled for surgery that includes free flap reconstruction (moving tissue from one part of the body to rebuild another).
- You agree to have your blood tested for genetic markers, and you give written consent.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies current standard care for people who need jawbone reconstruction after cancer surgery. It aims to document the costs and outcomes of using a piece of bone from another part of the body (a free bone flap) to rebuild the face.
This study looks at tissue samples from patients who had surgery for head and neck or breast cancer. Researchers want to understand how certain immune cells in the tumor might affect the cancer, which could help improve treatments in the future.
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.
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.
This trial studies whether using a “fat flap” (a piece of your own fatty tissue, moved to the neck) during certain neck surgeries can reduce neck injury after head and neck cancer treatment. It is for people who need a salvage neck dissection because of persistent or returning cancer in the neck lymph nodes.
This study is testing a new French questionnaire to measure how satisfied people are with their nose reconstruction after skin cancer removal. It will help doctors better understand what matters most to patients after this type of surgery.
