NCT06314711

Brief Summary

Patients with biopsy-verified oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas treated with transoral robotic surgery are included. Immediately post-operatively, freshly resected specimens are examined with ex vivo 3D ultrasound (US). Ex vivo 3D US will be used to match US slices of the specimen with corresponding histopathology slices. The US slices will be reviewed by a panel of head and neck surgeons blinded to histopathology. The primary aim is to explore perioperative ex vivo 3D US for oropharyngeal tumor detection, delineation from normal tissue, tumor size and volume, and margin assessment.
