Study Description

Brief Summary: Complete removal of cancer encircled by a secure margin of healthy tissue is the aim of surgical oncology. A close or positive surgical margin reported by pathologist typically ends in adjuvant therapies (re-surgery and/or radiotherapy), which come with prognostic risks and financial cost. Therefore, ex-vivo imaging of removed cancer tissue may assist in margin evaluation. In this study, investigators aimed to investigate the correlation of 3D ultrasound to histopathology to assess tongue tumor margin status.
