Study on gynecologic cancer care location preferences
This study asks women who are being checked for or have been diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer about where they prefer to receive their care. Your answers could help shape future services.
Taunton, SomersetAges 18 years+ - NCT02992574Recruiting
Radiation after mastectomy for certain node-negative breast cancers
This trial studies whether giving radiotherapy after a mastectomy helps prevent breast cancer coming back in women whose lymph nodes are not involved (or only very tiny spread). It may help reduce recurrence risk, especially for patients with higher-risk features despite node-negative early cancer.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 18–80 - NCT05450016Recruiting
Using photos and a computer to assess breast appearance after treatment
This study uses a computer (deep neural network) to judge how the breast looks after breast-conserving surgery or full breast reconstruction and radiation therapy. It may help doctors measure cosmetic results more consistently using photographs.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 19–80 - NCT06752239RecruitingPhase 3
Optimizing radiation to protect thyroid in nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a way to adjust radiation therapy to better protect the thyroid gland during treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It aims to reduce thyroid damage while still effectively treating the cancer.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–70 - NCT06921681Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided biopsy of chest lymph nodes
This trial uses a special ultrasound-guided procedure to take tissue samples from swollen lymph nodes in the chest. It aims to improve diagnosis for people who already need a bronchoscopy.
BaselAges 18–90 - NCT06923150Recruiting
MiniGo vs. standard care for bowel symptoms after rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests a small, portable device called MiniGo that uses a gentle water rinse to help control bowel symptoms after rectal cancer surgery. It may be an option for people who still have bothersome bowel problems despite trying other treatments.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06923449Recruiting
Gastric cancer surgery and tumor board performance study
This study looks at how tumor board discussions affect outcomes for people having surgery to cure gastric cancer. If you have gastric adenocarcinoma and are scheduled for curative surgery, you may be able to join.
Rome, ITAges 18 years+ - NCT04705467Recruiting
3D scanning of needles during gynecologic radiation treatment
This study uses 3D imaging to help guide needle-based radiation treatment for certain gynecologic cancers. If you are already scheduled to receive this type of brachytherapy, the trial may help make the treatment planning more accurate.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04630496Recruiting
Walk Test Before Lung Surgery for Older Adults
This study is looking at a “walk and movement” challenge for older adults preparing for thoracic (chest) surgery. It may help the team understand mobility and support safer care before surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT06196736RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new drug to chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, 9MW2821, against standard chemotherapy for people with advanced bladder cancer that has gotten worse after previous treatments. It aims to see if the new drug works better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06918223Recruiting
