Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults with a type of mouth cancer called squamous cell carcinoma who are scheduled for surgery. Participants will have images taken of their mouth lesions using a special camera before their surgery to help researchers learn about this new imaging technology.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I have been diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma.
I am scheduled to undergo surgery.
I can sign informed consent.
I am 18 years or older.
You may not be able to join if
My cancer is in a hard-to-reach area for imaging.
I cannot give informed consent.

The purpose of this study is to get images (pictures) of oral lesions, which occur inside the mouth, before the patient's surgery using a special camera. These pictures will be used in our research to evaluate a new technology that uses a laser and takes pictures of the microscopic structure of tissue. The technology is called "reflectance confocal microscopy." We would like to compare what the ca…
The purpose of this study is to get images (pictures) of oral lesions, which occur inside the mouth, before the patient's surgery using a special camera. These pictures will be used in our research to evaluate a new technology that uses a laser and takes pictures of the microscopic structure of tissue. The technology is called "reflectance confocal microscopy." We would like to compare what the camera sees to biopsies (pathology) of the same area. We will evaluate the pictures obtained from the patient to determine whether this technology may be useful in the future. We hope this technology can be used as a tool for early diagnosis of oral cancers and for guiding surgery.
