Summary

This study aims to develop and evaluate a low-cost, portable, flexible nasopharyngeal scope (FNS) used to assess head and neck cancers (HNC) in low resource settings. The FNS will be compared to an endoscope that is used as standard of care (SOC) in terms of ease of use, image quality, and perceived pain. The ultimate goal is to compare the ease of use between the FNS to what is used in SOC.

Conditions

• Head and Neck Cancer
• Oral Cancer
