RFA plus immune stimulation during liver surgery for colon cancer spread
This trial looks at whether using a heat-based treatment (RFA) to trigger the immune system before or during liver surgery can improve outcomes for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver. It’s aimed at people who plan to have the liver tumors removed because they look treatable.
AarhusAges 18–99 - NCT06007027Recruiting
Vaginal laser therapy for breast cancer survivors with menopause symptoms
This trial tests whether a vaginal laser treatment can help breast cancer survivors who have menopause-like symptoms such as vaginal dryness or pain during sex. It is designed for women currently on hormone-blocking therapy.
RandersAges 18–100 - NCT06016075Recruiting
Studying kidney masses with advanced MRI
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better understand the differences between non-cancerous and cancerous kidney growths. It may help doctors improve how they diagnose and treat kidney masses.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06482086RecruitingPhase 2
Using tumor models to guide drug choice for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests whether growing your tumor cells in a lab (as organoids) can help doctors pick the best drugs for advanced thyroid cancer that is hard to remove surgically. It's for people with different thyroid cancer types who have tumors growing outside the thyroid or into nearby areas.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06718530Recruiting
Finding early markers for liver cancer in people with chronic liver disease
This study looks for substances in your blood and immune system that could help doctors find liver cancer earlier. It is for people with liver cancer caused by chronic liver problems like hepatitis C, cirrhosis, or scarring.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT06718205RecruitingPhase 2
Nimotuzumab plus immunotherapy and chemo for esophageal cancer
This study tests a new combination of drugs for advanced esophageal cancer. It adds an antibody (nimotuzumab) and an immunotherapy (sintilimab) to standard chemotherapy, aiming to improve how well treatment works.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07587086Recruiting
PET/MR scan for breast cancer using fluorocholine
This study uses a special imaging scan (PET/MR) with a tracer called fluorocholine to see if it can help evaluate breast cancer before treatment or before surgery. It is for women who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer and will either have chemotherapy before surgery or go straight to surgery.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 25–75 - NCT07588386Recruiting
Early Colonoscopy After Low Rectal Cancer Surgery
This study tests whether doing a colonoscopy (camera exam of the colon) early after surgery for low rectal cancer helps catch a serious complication called anastomotic leakage—when the surgical connection between bowel segments breaks down. Early detection might help prevent severe infections and improve outcomes.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07593092RecruitingPhase 1
Testing new cancer immunotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This study tests two new experimental drugs (XmAb541 and XmAb808) designed to fight advanced ovarian cancer by activating your immune system. You'll be closely monitored to see how safe the drugs are and how your body tolerates them.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07593248Recruiting
Real-World Lung Cancer Outcomes With Targeted Drug Therapy in China
This study looks at how well patients with early-stage lung cancer (that has been surgically removed) do when treated with a targeted drug called EGFR-TKI to prevent cancer from coming back. Researchers will track actual patient outcomes in China from 2023 to 2026.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07594431RecruitingPhase 2
New radiation therapy for cancer that has spread to the body

Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT07586319Enrolling by invitation
Surgery to improve survival in early-stage spread breast cancer
This study tests whether surgery to remove cancer spots can help people with breast cancer that has spread to a few places live longer. You would receive standard cancer medicines plus surgery if you qualify.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07586891Recruiting
Low-Branched-Chain Amino Acid Diet With Immunotherapy for Stage III Melanoma
This trial tests whether a special diet low in certain amino acids (building blocks of protein), combined with an immune-boosting antibody drug, can safely shrink stage III melanoma that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
Xi'anAges 18–75 - NCT07591428Recruiting
Reducing risky drinking to prevent cancer
This study tests a program to help people who drink alcohol regularly cut back on high-risk drinking. The goal is to reduce cancer risk by changing drinking habits.
