First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 07, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests a radioactive imaging agent called 111In-panitumumab to see if it can safely find cancer spread to lymph nodes in people with head and neck cancer. About 28 participants will receive the agent before surgery, and researchers will compare its accuracy to the standard dye method used during surgery. The goal is to improve staging and guide treatment decisions.
