An interventional study of questionnaire administration and psychosocial assessment and care in Head and Neck Cancer, sponsored by The Facial Surgery Research Foundation. Status unknown at 27 sites in United Kingdom. Open to participants aged 16 Years to 120 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-12-14.
Sponsored by The Facial Surgery Research Foundation · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
RATIONALE: Surgery may be an effective treatment for oral cancer. It is not yet known whether surgery to remove the tumor and lymph nodes in the neck is more effective than surgery to remove the tumor alone in treating patients with early-stage oral cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is comparing two types of neck surgery to see how well they work in treating patients with early stage oral cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified by age (\< 40 vs 40-64 vs ≥ 65 years of age), tumor stage (T1 vs T2), and surgeon.
After surgery, patients are followed periodically for up to 5 years.
