Virtual Reality 3D-Surgery Modeling to Enhance Head and Neck Cancer Surgery Quality (NCT05031910)

Preoperative Virtual Reality and 3D Pathologic Modeling as Treatment for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿฉบ Clinical Procedure Protocol Sponsor: Thomas Jefferson University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This clinical trial studies the use of virtual reality technology and three dimensional surgery (3D-surgery) modeling to enhance current treatments in head and neck cancer surgery. Virtual reality 3D-surgery modeling may improve quality of surgical planning and interdisciplinary communication between surgeons and pathologists during the treatment of head and neck squamous cell cancer and ultimately increase the accuracy of planning, the quality of communication, and maximize the outcome patients with head and neck cancer experience throughout treatment.
