This trial tests a simple method: marking the tumor with a small tattoo before chemotherapy. The tattoo helps surgeons find the exact spot for lumpectomy after the tumor shrinks, so you can keep more of your breast.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18–75 - NCT07426055RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Prostate cancer radiation boost comparison study
This trial compares two types of radiation treatments for prostate cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. It tests whether adding a higher dose of radiation to the main tumor helps control the cancer better than standard radiation alone.
Zamość, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT07308990Recruiting
Comparing limited vs. full lymph node removal during prostate surgery
This trial compares two types of lymph node removal during prostate cancer surgery to see if removing fewer lymph nodes is just as effective. It is for men with prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the pelvis.
Lyasny, Minsk OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT07448142RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation with immunotherapy and chemo for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, an immunotherapy drug called pucotenlimab, and chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if adding radiation helps shrink the tumor more effectively before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuanggongAges 18–75 - NCT03249519Recruiting
Radiation plus heat for advanced cervical cancer
This trial studies whether adding controlled heat (“hyperthermia”) to radiation therapy (or radiation with chemotherapy) can improve outcomes in advanced cervical cancer. It focuses on people who can safely receive intensive pelvic radiation and heat treatment.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT03025477RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two first-treatment options for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares two different treatment strategies as the first chemotherapy after surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian-tube cancer. It may help doctors find a more effective or better-tolerated approach for people in your situation.
DijonAges 18–75 - NCT05201430RecruitingPhase 3
FOLFOXIRI vs CapeOX before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy plans given before rectal cancer surgery to see which helps more people and works better for disease control. If you have locally advanced rectal cancer and have not had treatment yet, this study may be an option.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05136326RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemo-radiation for rectal cancer without MGMT
This trial studies whether adding two chemotherapy medicines (capecitabine and temozolomide) to standard pre-surgery chemo-radiation can work better for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has a specific tumor marker pattern (MGMT “silenced”) and is mismatch-repair proficient (MSS). It aims to shrink the tumor before surgery and improve cancer control.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05851014RecruitingPhase 3
GB491 plus letrozole for HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether GB491 used together with letrozole works better for hormone receptor–positive and HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. You may be eligible if you have not had certain prior cancer treatments and your health tests are within safe limits.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05795335Recruiting
Testing CDK4/6 medicines for advanced hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial studies how CDK4/6 medicines fit into treatment for people with advanced hormone receptor–positive breast cancer that cannot be cured with surgery or radiation. It may help doctors understand the best way to use these medicines for disease that has returned or spread.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05431530Recruiting
Quality of life after rectal surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies how patients’ day-to-day quality of life changes after a specific type of rectal/low anterior resection during treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. It may help the medical team understand what symptoms and recovery needs to expect after surgery.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05984485RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery vs chemo before surgery for low-risk rectal cancer
This trial compares two approaches for low-risk locally advanced rectal cancer: going straight to surgery (TME) versus receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if upfront surgery works just as well, sparing patients from chemotherapy side effects.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05450029RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immunotherapy to chemo-radiation for rectal cancer
