Metformin
for Oral Leukoplakia/Erythroplakia Prevention
This trial tests if metformin can prevent oral cancer in patients with pre-cancerous mouth patches. Metformin is a diabetes drug that controls blood sugar and may stop these patches from becoming cancerous. Metformin, widely used as a diabetes medication, has recently been reported to reduce cancer risk and improve outcomes in certain cancers.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy vs Neck Dissection
for Oral Cancer
This phase II/III trial studies how well sentinel lymph node biopsy works and compares sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery to standard neck dissection as part of the treatment for early-stage oral cavity cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery is a procedure that removes a smaller number of lymph nodes from your neck because it uses an imaging agent to see which lymph nodes are most likely to have cancer. Standard neck dissection, such as elective neck dissection, removes many of the lymph nodes in your neck. Using sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery may work better in treating patients with early-stage oral cavity cancer compared to standard elective neck dissection.
