AI predicts lymph node spread in stomach cancer using scans and biopsy
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict whether stomach cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. By analyzing your CT/MRI scans and biopsy results before surgery, the AI may help doctors plan your treatment more precisely.
Shijiazhuang, None SelectedAges 18–80 - NCT06513598Recruiting
Finding infection signs after abdominal cancer surgery
This study looks for ways to better predict and catch infections after major abdominal cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for certain cancers (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, bile ducts, colon, or rectum), the researchers will check your blood and other samples for early signs of infection so they can start treatment sooner.
VilniusAges 18 years+ - NCT06908291Recruiting
Photoacoustic imaging test for breast nodules and chemo response
This study uses a new imaging technique that combines light and sound to examine breast lumps. It may help doctors diagnose breast cancer, determine its type, and see how well chemotherapy is working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07614594Recruiting
Urine Test to Detect Bladder and Kidney Cancer
This study tests whether a simple urine test can accurately identify cancer in the bladder, ureters (tubes between kidneys and bladder), or renal pelvis (part of the kidney). You would provide urine samples before your planned surgery, and researchers will compare the urine test results to your actual tissue diagnosis after surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07298083Recruiting
Identifying markers for MPNST to improve diagnosis and surgery
This trial collects tissue samples from people with MPNST or neurofibroma during surgery to find metabolic markers that could help diagnose MPNST faster and ensure complete removal of tumors.
Houston, TexasAges 1 year+ - NCT03460769Recruiting
Mixed meal test to study diabetes from pancreas conditions
This study uses a special blood-sugar test (a mixed meal) to better diagnose and understand diabetes related to pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis, and to compare it with other diabetes types. It may help researchers find clearer ways to tell these diabetes causes apart and understand how they work.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 30–84 - NCT03492151Recruiting
Scans pancreatic cysts during a biopsy procedure
This trial tests a special camera (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy to help tell what type of pancreatic cyst is present. It may help doctors decide faster whether surgery is needed.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03791034Recruiting
Blood DNA test to guide treatment in early lung cancer
This trial studies a “cell-free DNA” blood test to help diagnose and guide treatment decisions for early non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors tailor care based on genetic signals seen in the blood before and around surgery.
SeoulAges 18–90 - NCT05562375Recruiting
Testing a device to detect early mouth pre-cancer changes
This study checks whether a handheld device (GOCCLES®) can spot early mouth “pre-cancer” changes by looking at suspicious areas in the mouth. If it works, it could help doctors find these problems earlier and guide next steps.
Alcorcón, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06389448Recruiting
Comparing Two Imaging Methods for Stomach Lesion Diagnosis
