Computer-Guided surgery may sharpen tumor removal for jaw cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07306962
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a computer-assisted method called virtual lesion segmentation can help surgeons remove mandibular ameloblastoma more precisely. Ten patients with this rare jaw tumor will have their surgery planned using 3D imaging to set a 10-mm safety margin. The goal is to see if this technique leads to negative margins and fewer recurrences.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Virtual lesion segmentation device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help surgeons more accurately remove ameloblastoma tumors, potentially lowering the chance of the tumor coming back.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The technique is still experimental and needs more testing.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with histologically confirmed ameloblastoma using a preoperative biopsy. 2. Patients with ameloblastoma that require segmental mandibular continuity defect, not involving the condyle. Exclusion Criteria 1. Patients with lateral segmental mandibular defect involving the condyle. 2. Patients with an active infection at the site of resection. 3. Patients with recurrent lesion after resection.
