Brief Summary: The goal of this phase II single arm clinical study is to evaluate the effect of antibiotics metronidazole and oral chlorhexidine CHX in reducing the bacteria load within tumors of patients undergoing surgery for oral cancer
Detailed Description: The prognosis for patients with locally advanced non-Human Papillomavirus HPV associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma HNSCC remains poor The immunosuppressive tumor immune microenvironment in HNSCC presents a significant barrier to both conventional and immune-based therapies Recent studies have indicated that dysbiotic oral microbiota particularly in the context of periodontal disease can contribute to chronic oral mucosal inflammation and the recruitment of suppressive immune cell infiltrates Bacterial-induced chronic inflammation may play a crucial role in treatment resistance in HNSCC Understanding the impact of microbial modulation on the tumor immune microenvironment in HNSCC could lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets

In this single-arm phase II clinical trial oral cancer patients will be treated with oral metronidazole and CHX rinses prior to surgery Investigator will assess the ability for the treatment to reduce the absolute amount of intratumoral bacteria and evaluate changes in the intratumoral bacterial community and infiltrating immune cells
