Ex Vivo Multimodal Imaging of Upper Aerodigestive Epithelium

Completed

Conditions studied: Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oral Cavity, Oropharynx, Larynx, Hypopharynx

In brief

The purpose of this research study is to collect information on whether images made using investigational microscopes can improve researchers' ability to evaluate and distinguish between normal and abnormal areas in tissue samples surgically removed from patients with squamous cell carcinoma. The microscopes being used in this study are considered investigational because they have not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for finding abnormal or pre-cancerous areas.
