NCT05902455

Brief Summary

The trial is a single-center, non-randomized feasibility study aiming to evaluate the feasibility of ex-vivo tissue analysis using differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) of tissue smoke generated by the use of an electrosurgical instrument. Patients recruited in the trial receive standard-of-care oral squamous cell carcinoma tumor excision surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Sensitivity and specificity of normal and cancerous tissue identification by differential mobility spectrometry

    The ATAS device records a molecular spectrum of the surgical smoke generated when the collected tissue samples are processed with an electrosurgical instrument in the research laboratory. The primary outcome of the study is to test the ability of the device to correctly distinguish cancerous tissue from normal tissue based on predicted differences in the spectrum.

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The influence of oral squamous cell carcinoma tumor thickness and infiltration depth on the resolution

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Study Arms (1)

Patients diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma

Procedure: Punch biopsy

Interventions

Punch biopsyPROCEDURE

Punch biopsy of oral squamous cell carcinoma tumor and a control biopsy of healthy oral mucosa are collected during primary tumor excision surgery from each recruited patient.

Patients diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma
