Ultrasound in Tongue Cancer- a Help to Decide Depth of Invasion and to Improve the Surgical Margin

NCT04059861 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 42

Last updated 2021-12-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate if ultrasound can be helpful in the diagnostic work-up of oral tongue and floor of the mouth cancer. One important factor is how deeply the tumour invades the tissue, the so called depth of invasion (DOI). The investigator will measure DOI with ultrasound and compare the result with the same measurement by magnetic resonance imaging and the microscopic result after the surgery (PAD).

Ultrasound will also be used during surgery of the tumour to investigate if it is useful to better decide the depth of the tumour and thereby improving the operation.

Conditions

  • Tongue Cancer
  • Floor of Mouth Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Ultrasound

enrolled patients will be investigated by ultrasound two times, awake in the clinic and in narcosis before the surgery. For those with tongue cancer ultrasound will be used during the surgery to visualise the deep margin of the tumour.
