What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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 tissues, as once the specimen is resected, the shape and size of the specimen change, making it difficult to accurately map the specimen's margins back onto the surgical site. Emerging technologies -such as augmented reality (AR), 3D scanning, and advanced soft tissue modeling- offer promising solutions for improving surgical navigation and precision. Building on these advances, an AR-based s
