This trial tests a new augmented reality system that helps guide the needle during a soft-tissue biopsy. It may make the procedure more accurate and easier for your doctor.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06923657Recruiting
PSMA PET/MRI for guiding biopsy after negative MRI
This study tests whether a special type of PET/MRI scan (PSMA PET/MRI) can help doctors find hidden prostate cancer in men who have a rising PSA but previous negative biopsies and a non-suspicious MRI. It aims to improve detection without skipping needed treatment.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 30–85 - NCT06907446Recruiting
New SUREcore needle vs standard care for prostate biopsy
This trial compares a new biopsy needle called SUREcore to the standard needle used during prostate biopsies. It aims to see if the SUREcore needle works better or causes less discomfort.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05774483Recruiting
Check nodes in early mouth cancer using a biopsy or planned neck surgery
This trial studies two ways to check whether early oral cavity cancer has spread to nearby neck lymph nodes. It compares sentinel node biopsy versus limited elective neck dissection to see which approach is more useful for people with node-negative tongue or inner-cheek cancers.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–80 - NCT06752395Enrolling by invitation
Freezing vs. forceps biopsy for small lung nodules
This trial compares two ways of taking a tissue sample from a small lung nodule: traditional forceps (like tiny tweezers) versus a newer freezing method (cryobiopsy). It will help find out which technique is better at getting enough tissue for diagnosis with fewer side effects.
BusanAges 18 years+ - NCT07085442Recruiting
Audit of targeted lymph node biopsy for early breast cancer
This study looks at how well a special type of lymph node biopsy works for people with early breast cancer that has spread to a small number of lymph nodes. It aims to see if this approach is effective and safe, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
BurnleyAges 18 years+ - NCT04293796Recruiting
Skipping breast surgery after complete response
This trial looks at whether some people with breast cancer can safely avoid breast surgery after they respond completely to treatment before surgery. If you have no remaining cancer in the tissue and lymph node tests, this study checks whether the “watch-and-wait” approach is feasible and safe.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–70 - NCT05718128RecruitingPhase 4
Study of taking heart muscle samples from the inside
This trial studies patients who need an endocardial myocardial biopsy, meaning a small heart muscle sample taken from inside the heart. It’s meant for people with heart problems whose cause is not clearly known and may help doctors learn more about what’s going on.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05818072Recruiting
Biopsy approach study for Barrett-like esophagus changes
This study looks at how common certain esophagus lining changes are, what increases risk, and which biopsy sampling method works best. It may help improve how doctors take tissue samples when Barrett’s esophagus is suspected.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20 years+ - NCT07710807Recruiting
Comparing two prostate biopsy methods
This trial compares two ways to take a prostate biopsy (through the rectum or through the skin between the scrotum and anus) to see which is more accurate. Men with suspicious MRI findings (PI-RADS 3, 4, or 5) who haven't had prostate cancer before may be eligible.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 50–75 - NCT06584279Recruiting
MRI-targeted biopsy for first-time prostate cancer screening
This trial is testing a new way to do prostate biopsies by combining MRI findings with a targeted biopsy on the same side as the suspicious area. It is for men who have not had a biopsy before and have a moderately high PSA level.
NanjingAges 60–80 - NCT07675317Recruiting
Comparing two biopsy methods for thin uterine lining
This trial tests two ways to take a small sample of the uterus lining (endometrium) when it is thin. The results may help women have a more comfortable and effective biopsy.
