Study Details

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.

Arms

  • Experimental: Arm I (VR/3D-CEPs, standard treatment)
    Prior to surgery (day 0-13), patients undergo virtual reality 3D tumor resection via VR/3D-CEPs. Patients' pre-surgical CT scans are reviewed per standard of care. Patients then undergo surgical resection on day 14-29 and a 3D model of true tumor is created and imported into the virtual reality environment.
  • Active Comparator: Arm II (standard treatment)
    Prior to surgery (day 0-13), patients' pre-surgical CT scans are reviewed per standard of care. Patients then undergo surgical resection on day 14-29.
