Sound waves in the OR: could ultrasound help surgeons cut out oral cancer better?
NCT ID NCT07203911
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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 margins, fewer repeat surgeries, less need for radiation, and better quality of life.
