Summary

This study tests a new type of CT scan, called Photon-Counting CT, to see if it can more accurately show how far laryngeal cancer has spread. Sixty adults with laryngeal cancer will get this scan while making a sound, which may help separate normal tissues from tumor. The goal is to improve treatment planning and avoid both undertreatment and overly aggressive surgery.

Active substance
Photon-Counting CT scan
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a more accurate, non-invasive way to stage laryngeal cancer, potentially reducing unnecessary surgeries or missed tumor spread.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (60 people) testing a new imaging technique. It may not prove better than current methods, and results may not apply to all patients or hospitals.
