U.S., Aug. 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07098819) titled 'The eValuation of Sources of vIBRAtioN for Vibrational Shear Wave elasTography' on June 26.
Brief Summary: Patients suffering with Head and Neck Cancer often must wait 3 months or more to know if their treatment has been effective, which can be very stressful. The investigators are developing an imaging tool that may be useful to help clinicians understand if patients need secondary treatment, surgery to remove lymph nodes in the neck, sooner. Evidence suggests that lymph nodes containing cancer are stiffer than normal lymph nodes.
The investigator's tool, vibrational shear wave elastography, measures the stiffness of tissue using s...
