Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT04889924Recruiting
Lymph node surgery vs radiation after chemo for breast cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat the underarm lymph nodes in people whose sentinel lymph node still shows limited cancer after chemotherapy and hormone treatment. It may help find which approach controls cancer better with fewer side effects.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT03385018Recruiting
Laparoscopic total stomach surgery trial for stomach cancer
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) removal of the entire stomach, along with lymph node removal, can be done safely and effectively for certain stomach cancers. It may be an option if your cancer is in the stomach, has limited spread to nearby lymph nodes, and can be fully removed.
SeoulAges 20–80 - NCT04109079Recruiting
Best surgery plan for breast cancer lymph nodes after chemotherapy
This study looks at the safest and most useful way to remove and check breast-cancer lymph nodes in the armpit after you finish chemotherapy given before surgery. It may help you avoid unnecessary surgery while still getting accurate information about how well the treatment worked.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT04555226Recruiting
Lymph node surgery for advanced cervical cancer
This trial studies whether removing lymph nodes during surgery helps people with stage IIICr cervical cancer. It looks at outcomes and may help guide better treatment for lymph node spread.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT05059379RecruitingPhase 3
Different radiation fields after breast cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to lymph node areas near the collarbone after surgery for invasive breast cancer. It aims to see which radiation approach works better and is safer for preventing cancer returning in these lymph nodes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05109910Recruiting
Checking lymph node surgery impact in men having prostate removal
This study looks at whether removing lymph nodes during prostate removal helps predict outcomes in men whose scans do not show spread. It may help improve how doctors decide who benefits from lymph node surgery based on your risk level and scan results.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05774483Recruiting
Check nodes in early mouth cancer using a biopsy or planned neck surgery
This trial studies two ways to check whether early oral cavity cancer has spread to nearby neck lymph nodes. It compares sentinel node biopsy versus limited elective neck dissection to see which approach is more useful for people with node-negative tongue or inner-cheek cancers.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–80 - 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 - 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.
