AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04845828Recruiting
Sentinel node biopsy versus full node removal in early uterine cancer
This study compares two ways to check lymph nodes during surgery for early-stage endometrial (uterine) cancer: sentinel node biopsy versus removing more lymph nodes. It may help find whether the less extensive approach can stage the cancer accurately with fewer side effects.
SeoulAges 20–80 - NCT05462457Recruiting
Tests adding a targeted approach for breast cancer with many involved nodes
This trial studies a treatment plan for early breast cancer that involves at least three suspicious lymph nodes on the ultrasound/imaging. It looks at whether a targeted technique—done before surgery with chemotherapy—can improve or guide care when surgery will remove the lymph nodes.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT05838053Recruiting
Segmentectomy versus lobectomy for small lung cancer
This trial compares two types of lung surgery—removing a small lung segment versus removing an entire lung lobe—for small lung adenocarcinoma (≤ 2 cm). It may help you choose the safest approach that still controls the cancer.
Yangpu, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–79 - NCT06031246RecruitingPhase 3
Lymph node surgery study for early-stage lung cancer in the upper lung
This trial tests whether a more focused lymph node removal during surgery is safe and effective for people with a small, early-stage lung cancer (non-small cell type) located in the top part of the lung (apical segment).
Shanghai, Please SelectAges 18–80 - NCT04631770Recruiting
Mediastinal node removal versus sparing nodes for early lung nodule
This trial compares two surgical approaches for people with a single small, noncancer-looking lung nodule (a GGN) that is diagnosed as very early lung cancer. It aims to see whether removing mediastinal lymph nodes—or leaving them alone—can lead to better outcomes with less harm.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06279299Recruiting
Lymph node removal for rectal neuroendocrine tumors during laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests whether removing lymph nodes in the pelvis during laparoscopic surgery for rectal neuroendocrine tumors (a type of slow-growing or aggressive tumor) improves outcomes. It is for people with larger or recurrent tumors, or those at higher risk due to tumor grade or depth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07801430Recruiting
Extra lymph node removal in left lung cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of doing lung cancer surgery for early-stage tumors in the left lung. Some participants will have more lymph nodes removed (station 4L) and others will not, to see if the extra removal helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Shanghai, XuhuiAges 18–75 - NCT07780240Recruiting
Understanding arm band pain after breast cancer surgery
This study looks at how common axillary web syndrome (a rope-like band in the armpit after breast cancer surgery) is, who gets it, and how it affects arm function. It aims to help doctors better predict and manage this condition.
Istanbul, BAGCILARAges 18–80 - NCT06605521Recruiting
Study on removing lymph nodes above the collarbone for breast cancer
This trial tests if removing cancerous lymph nodes above the collarbone helps treat breast cancer that has spread there. It aims to see if this surgery, along with standard treatments, is safe and effective.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT06619002Recruiting
Using video to make uterine cancer surgery safer
This study is collecting videos from a type of minimally invasive surgery called sentinel lymph node dissection for endometrial or cervical cancer. The goal is to use deep learning (a type of artificial intelligence) to help surgeons identify important structures and any spread of cancer during the procedure, making the surgery safer and more effective.
RomaAges 18–99 - NCT07580196Recruiting
Comparing lymph node removal approaches in aggressive prostate cancer
This trial compares two surgical approaches for removing lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery in men with high-risk disease on one side of the prostate. The goal is to determine whether removing lymph nodes from both sides or just one side provides better outcomes.
Rozzano, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT05939830Recruiting
Skipping axillary lymph node surgery after treatment response
This study looks at whether some breast cancer patients can safely skip a surgery that removes lymph nodes in the armpit after their initial (pre-surgery) treatment shows the armpit is likely clear. It may reduce surgical side effects if the armpit truly responds well.
NanjingAges 18–70 - NCT07401498Enrolling by invitation
Studying side effects of lymph node removal in lung cancer surgery
This trial looks at complications from removing lymph nodes during surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors understand how to make surgery safer.
UlyanovskAges 18 years+ - NCT04671511Recruiting
Check targeted lymph node surgery for early breast cancer
This study tests a more focused surgery approach to remove lymph nodes in the armpit for people with early breast cancer that has been found in 1–2 axillary lymph nodes. It may help guide more precise treatment while checking how well this approach works.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05000827Recruiting
PSMA PET scan to guide lymph node surgery in prostatectomy
This study tests whether a special prostate scan called PSMA PET/CT can help doctors decide which pelvic lymph nodes to remove during prostate surgery. It may improve who needs lymph node surgery by using scan results to guide the operation.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07331129Recruiting
Nerve block for pain relief in groin lymph node surgery
This trial tests a special ultrasound-guided nerve block to reduce pain during and after groin lymph node removal. It may help patients undergoing this type of cancer surgery have less pain and use fewer painkillers.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT07321210Recruiting
Lymph node surgery for high-risk upper tract cancer
This trial compares removing the kidney and ureter alone versus also removing nearby lymph nodes for high-risk upper tract urothelial cancer. It aims to see if the extra step helps improve outcomes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07321197Recruiting
Kidney removal with or without lymph node removal for high risk kidney cancer
This study is for people with high-risk kidney cancer who are having their whole kidney removed. It compares surgery alone versus surgery plus removing lymph nodes from the tumor area to see if removing the nodes helps control the cancer better.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07308990Recruiting
Comparing limited vs. full lymph node removal during prostate surgery
This trial compares two types of lymph node removal during prostate cancer surgery to see if removing fewer lymph nodes is just as effective. It is for men with prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the pelvis.
