Analyzing tumor deposits after stomach cancer surgery
This study looks at cancer cell deposits found in the area where the right and left stomach-supporting tissues meet, after surgery for stomach cancer. It may help doctors understand how cancer spreads and improve future treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - 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+ - NCT06621810Recruiting
AI for melanoma detection in children and young adults
This study uses artificial intelligence to help detect melanoma (a type of skin cancer) and predict risk in children, teens, and young adults. Researchers want to see if AI can spot melanoma early and assess risk better.
TübingenAges Any age - NCT03382158Recruiting
Learn about DICER1-related tumors through a patient registry
This registry collects information about people with known or suspected DICER1-related conditions, including certain rare chest and other tumor types. It helps doctors and researchers understand these conditions better and may support future studies.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges birth–100 years - NCT06429891Recruiting
Nuclear probe for early gastric cancer detection
This trial uses a special radioactive probe to find gastric cancer cells during imaging. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly and catch the disease earlier.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07370077Recruiting
Early screening for lung nodules with breath, blood, and CT scans
This trial uses a new, non-invasive way to screen for lung cancer by combining your breath, blood, and CT scan images. The goal is to figure out whether a nodule found on a CT scan is cancerous or not, which could help patients avoid unnecessary procedures.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06718153Recruiting
Using protein tests to diagnose liver cancer types
This trial uses special stains on tumor tissue to find genetic changes in liver cancer cells. It may help doctors better diagnose and classify the type of liver cancer you have.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT04224064Recruiting
Blood test to help diagnose and predict liposarcoma
This study looks for a new blood test marker that may help doctors diagnose liposarcoma and estimate how it may behave over time. You may be asked for a blood sample and consent, and the study may follow you to see how well the test works.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07047872Recruiting
3D-printed breast form study for women after mastectomy
This study tests a custom 3D-printed external breast form for people who had a mastectomy without reconstruction. It aims to see if it improves comfort and satisfaction.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT00001238Recruiting
Understanding kidney cancer genes in families
