What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study looks at whether using a high-frequency ultrasound before surgery for common skin cancers on the head and neck can help surgeons remove the entire tumor the first time. About 400 adults with basal or squamous cell skin cancer will be in the study. Some will get the standard skin exam before surgery, and others will also get the ultrasound. The goal is to see if the ultrasound leads to fewer cases where cancer cells are left behind and lowers the chance of the cancer coming back within 5 years.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

This study will include all eligible cutaneous basal cell carcinomas (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) of the head and neck surgically treated at the Department of Otolaryngology. Each eligible lesion will constitute an independent study case. In patients with multiple tumors, each lesion may be included separately if it meets all inclusion criteria. Participation requires informed, written consent from the patient after reviewing the Patient Information Sheet.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Cutaneous lesion located in the head and neck region with a preoperative diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), established by dermoscopy or biopsy, and qualified for surgical excision with curative intent. * patient age of 18 years or older. * Ability of patient to provide voluntary, informed, written consent for participation in the study. * Confirmation that the patient has read and understood the Patient Information Sheet. Exclusion Criteria: * Excisional biopsies without radical intent. * Lack of histopathologic confirmation of BCC or SCC in the postoperative specimen (incorrect dermoscopic qualification). * Inability to perform radical surgical excision due to excessive tumor extent, poor general condition of the patient, or lack of patient consent for surgery. * Pregnancy.
