Contribution of Residual Tumour DNA Testing on the Surgical Bed (MARGINS)

Contribution of Residual Tumour DNA Testing on the Surgical Bed of Squamous Cell Carcinomas of the Oral Cavity

The aim of this study is to evaluate the interest of residual tumour DNA research in the operating bed after squamous cell carcinoma excision.

Study Overview

Status

Not yet recruiting

Detailed Description

Squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity have a poor prognosis. The 5-year loco-regional recurrence rate is 45%. Surgery remains the standard treatment. The presence of invasive or insufficient surgical margins is an important histopronostic factor.

Current tools for intraoperative detection of insufficient margins have a very low sensitivity of around 10%. The aim here is to develop a more sensitive tool by looking for the presence of residual tumour DNA in the entire operating bed after squamous cell carcinoma excision
