Summary

This study tests a special PET/CT scan that targets cells helping cancer spread, to see if it can find early signs of lymph node involvement in head and neck cancer. About 20 adults with operable head and neck cancer and at least one known lymph node metastasis will receive the scan before surgery. The goal is to compare the new scan with standard imaging and check if it better identifies lymph nodes at risk, which could guide more personalized treatment.
