Study of sentinel node detection in recurrent vulvar cancer
This study tests whether a special dye injection can reliably find the first lymph node that might contain cancer in women whose vulvar cancer has come back for the first time. It aims to help doctors know if the cancer has spread without removing many lymph nodes.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07579286Recruiting
Skipping lymph node surgery in early breast cancer
This trial tests whether older women with early-stage, slow-growing breast cancer can safely skip removal of underarm lymph nodes during surgery. The goal is to reduce surgery-related side effects while maintaining safety.
Saint Petersburg, Russian FederationAges 60 years+ - NCT06788548Recruiting
Fluorescence-Guided Surgery for Early Stomach Cancer
This trial tests a new technique that uses a special dye to highlight the first lymph nodes where stomach cancer might spread, allowing surgeons to remove only the necessary nodes during surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05333523RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized neck radiation using a lymph node sentinel biopsy
This Phase 3 trial tests whether guiding neck radiation by checking the “sentinel” lymph node can target treatment more precisely in certain larynx, hypopharynx, or oropharynx cancers. It aims to improve control while potentially reducing unnecessary radiation to areas that don’t need it.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05797415Recruiting
Check sentinel lymph node biopsy for several eye skin cancers
This trial studies whether a “sentinel lymph node biopsy” can better detect cancer spread in people with specific cancers of the eye surface and nearby tissues. It may help doctors find the right next treatment by learning whether lymph nodes are involved.
Roma, RomeAges 18–95 - NCT07301983Enrolling by invitation
Testing a faster way to check lymph nodes in lung cancer surgery
This trial compares a new, quick test called OSNA to the standard method for checking lymph nodes in people with early-stage lung cancer who are having robotic surgery. The goal is to see if the new test works as well or better.
Pisa, PisaAges 18 years+ - NCT07121595RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized neck radiation for mouth cancer with sentinel node biopsy
This study tests whether a personalized approach to radiation therapy after surgery, guided by a special lymph node biopsy (sentinel node biopsy), can effectively treat mouth cancer while reducing side effects. It is for people whose cancer is on one side of the mouth and has not spread to the other side of the neck or beyond.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06358222Recruiting
Lung cancer trial testing blood test and PET scan for spread
This trial studies if a blood test that looks for tumor DNA combined with a PET-CT scan can better predict if lung cancer has spread to lymph nodes. It may help guide treatment decisions for people with non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06389786Recruiting
Using a new PET scan to find cancer spread before prostate surgery
