Research + Clinical Trials

Validation of Elastic Scattering Spectroscopy for Intra-operative Margin Guidance during Oral Cancer Resection

We are doing a research study to test a technology called spectroscopy that uses a special light and computer to better “see” where cancer is during surgery. We want to see if it can make surgery for mouth and throat cancer more effective by letting the doctor know if there are any cancer cells left behind during surgery.
