This study tests whether a less invasive surgery called sentinel lymph node biopsy can replace standard neck dissection for early-stage oral cavity cancer. About 686 patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal is to see if the gentler approach mainta…

This study tests a new device that delivers a special type of radiation directly into skin tumors. The goal is to see if it can shrink or control the cancer. The study is for adults with certain types of skin cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma. Par…

This study tests a device called DaRT that delivers a unique type of radiation (alpha particles) directly into tumors. It is designed for people with certain skin cancers, mouth cancers, or soft tissue sarcomas that are accessible for direct injection. The goal is to see if this …

This study tests an experimental drug called VMD-928, taken as a pill, either alone or with another cancer drug (pembrolizumab). It is for adults with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma that have not responded to or are no longer controlled by available treatments. The goal is to …

This study is testing a device called DaRT that delivers alpha radiation directly into tumors. It is for people with certain skin cancers, mouth cancers, or soft tissue sarcomas that are up to 7 centimeters in size. The goal is to see if the tumors shrink and to check for side ef…

This study aims to collect samples and medical information from people of all ages who have or have been exposed to viral infections, including COVID-19 and herpes. Researchers want to understand how viruses affect healthy individuals versus those with weakened immune systems. Pa…

This study collects blood and tumor tissue samples from people with head and neck or lung cancers to find biological markers that indicate low oxygen levels within tumors. Low-oxygen tumors tend to be more aggressive and resistant to standard treatments like radiation and chemoth…

This study is building a huge registry of information and biological samples from adults with or at risk for many types of cancer, as well as healthy volunteers. Researchers will use this resource to study what causes cancer and how to better prevent, detect, and treat it. The re…

This study is checking how well lower lip reconstruction works after skin cancer removal. About 20 patients who had the surgery will fill out questionnaires about how their lip looks and works, and how it affects their daily life. Doctors will also review the results to help impr…

This study looks at whether changes in the bacteria living in your mouth and gut (the microbiome) are linked to head and neck cancer. Researchers will collect stool and saliva samples from 60 people—half with cancer and half without—to compare their microbial makeup. The goal is …
