First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests whether using ultrasound during oral cancer surgery helps surgeons remove tumors more completely. About 150 adults with early-stage oral cancer will be randomly assigned to standard surgery or surgery guided by real-time ultrasound. The goal is to see if ultrasound leads to clearer surgical margins, fewer repeat surgeries, and better long-term outcomes like reduced cancer recurrence and improved quality of life.
