Clinical Trial: Deformable Tissue Modelling and Augmented Reality Based Guidance for Head and Neck Tumor Re-Resection Task

U.S., July 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07686211) titled 'Deformable Tissue Modelling and Augmented Reality Based Guidance for Head and Neck Tumor Re-Resection Task' on June 30.

Brief Summary: Head and neck cancers have one of the highest recurrence rates among solid malignancies, and recurrence is strongly correlated with overall survival. Reducing recurrence rates depends, in part, on the surgeon's ability to accurately re-resect areas of positive or close margins during surgery. Currently, margin status is communicated primarily through verbal descriptions between the surgeon and pathologist, which can be imprecise. This challenge is further compounded by the deformable nature of soft ti...
