Study Summary

This trial studies how well photoacoustic imaging works in measuring tumors and normal tissue in patients with head and neck cancer. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a low-risk imaging method that provides information about the oxygenation of tissues using a combination of light and ultrasound techniques. This study may help doctors determine if PAI is correlated with clinical responses of both tumor (for example: shrinking, swelling or disappearing) and normal tissues (for example: skin redness, dry mouth, appearance of sores, healing of skin or mucosa). If there is a correlation with clinical responses, then doctors may develop PAI as method for measuring response to earlier treatment.

Primary Outcome

Feasibility rate is defined as the proportion of evaluable patients who have at least 3 imaging sessions that produce a usable image.

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE Photoacoustic Imaging
  • PROCEDURE Transcutaneous Acupoint Electrical Stimulation
