NCT ID NCT02743832
First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a feature called tumor budding can guide doctors in deciding if lymph node removal in the neck is necessary for early-stage oral cancer. About 524 patients will be followed for five years to compare survival and quality of life between those who get standard neck dissection and those who get a more tailored approach. The goal is to avoid unnecessary surgery without compromising outcomes.
