NCT ID NCT05934929
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether testing the surgical wound for leftover tumor DNA can help predict if oral cancer will come back. Researchers will check for this DNA in 31 patients after their tumor is removed. The goal is to see if this test gives useful information beyond standard checks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new way to predict if oral cancer will come back after surgery, helping doctors decide on follow-up care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 31 people. It is testing a new method, so it may not prove useful or accurate for all patients.
