New Light-Based scanner could spot hidden cancer in neck lymph nodes
NCT ID NCT06477003
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study is testing a new imaging device called MSOT that uses light and sound to create detailed pictures of neck lymph nodes in people with head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if it can more accurately detect cancer spread and radiation-induced scarring than current methods. About 100 participants will be scanned before and after treatment to check safety and image quality.

What this could lead to
If successful, this imaging method could help doctors more accurately identify cancer spread in lymph nodes and monitor radiation damage, potentially improving treatment planning.
What could go wrong
This is an early safety and feasibility study with no treatment being tested. The device may not prove more effective than current imaging methods, and the trial is currently suspended.
