Scientific titleA multi-centre, randomised controlled trial assessing the effectiveness of Lugol's Iodine in Surgical managemenT of Epithelial dysplasia in the oRal cavity and oropharynx
Study acronymLISTER
Study hypothesisDoes intraoperative visualisation of dysplastic mucosa with Lugol’s Iodine assist in improving accuracy of excision of epithelial dysplasia of oral cavity and oropharynx?
Ethics approval(s)London-Harrow Research Ethics Committee, 13/10/2016, ref: 16/LO/0857
ConditionEpithelial dysplasia in the oral cavity and oropharynx
Intervention1. Standard Treatment Group: Surgical excision of epithelial dysplasia as per usual practice
2. Intervention Treatment Group: Surgical excision of epithelial dysplasia assisted by visualisation with Lugol’s iodine
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureRates of surface dysplasia or carcinoma-in-situ at surface mucosal margins
Secondary outcome measures1. Two-year incidence of histologically confirmed transformation to SCC in the oral/cavity/oropharynx
2. Occult SCC diagnosed histopathologically in excised mucosa
3. Surface area of mucosa excised
4. Extent of margin clearance in mm
5. Surgeon decision to re-excise at the same site following positive margins
6. Estimate of the two year recurrence rates of oral dysplasia
7. Acceptability of the technique to surgeons (intervention treatment group)
8. Safety of the technique (intervention treatment group)
9. Assessment of Quality of Life changes

IPD sharing plan summaryData sharing statement to be made available at a later date
Publication and dissemination planThe findings will be disseminated locally at clinical governance meetings, at national and international head and neck cancer scientific meetings (BAOMS, BAHNO, IAOO). We will take advice from our local patient research forum on how to best reach the local population with the findings. We aim to publish the findings in the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery within six months of the final patient visit.
