Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Basically, patients who can be treated in our clinic on an outpatient or inpatient basis are eligible In principle, it must be possible to visualize the disease by means of imaging in order to be able to determine the indication for resection independently of the planned study examination. Before study enrollment, patients are informed in detail about the purpose of the study and the possible risks. They are also informed about basic issues such as data protection, etc. (see patient information). Sufficient amounts of normal tissue must adhere to the preparation to be examined in order to enable the comparison of tumor tissue and normal tissue Age: =18 years Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Disease cannot be visualized with the clinic's own ultrasound Non-existing or limited legal capacity Not enough normal tissue in the resected tissue for comparison of tumor tissue and normal tissue Age < 18 years
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is to demonstrate that tumor resection from the head and neck region with adherent normal tissue can be distinguished from surrounding normal tissue using MSOT, with a focus on pathologies in the salivary glands and cervical lymph nodes. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints are MSOT-specific characteristics of the disease that go beyond the sonographically generated information such as size, shape or echogenicity, such as water or fat content or oxygen saturation of hemoglobin, which can be detected in normal salivary gland tissue and tumor tissue depending on the laser wavelength used. | — |
