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 - NCT07049276Recruiting
Lymph node surgery for melanoma with immunotherapy
This trial tests if a specific type of lymph node surgery, combined with a short course of immunotherapy (medicines that help your immune system fight cancer), works better for melanoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It's for people whose melanoma can be removed and who are healthy enough for treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07040657Recruiting
Comparing injection techniques for cervical lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer
This trial tests two different injection methods in the cervix to help map lymph nodes for endometrial cancer. The goal is to find which technique works better for staging, using a dye that helps surgeons see the lymph nodes during surgery.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT07003490Recruiting
Lung cancer surgery with removal of lymph nodes on the other side
This study looks at whether removing lymph nodes from the opposite side of the chest during surgery can help people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in the middle of the chest. It may offer a more thorough treatment for patients who are healthy enough for surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06932458RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery for seminoma that has spread to lymph nodes
This trial tests if removing the involved lymph nodes in the abdomen (retroperitoneal lymph node dissection) is a good treatment for seminoma that has spread to a small number of lymph nodes. It may help patients avoid more chemotherapy or radiation.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06869629Recruiting
Avoiding armpit lymph node removal in breast cancer
This trial tests whether it is safe to skip removing lymph nodes from the armpit when cancer has spread there but has been found by ultrasound. If you have breast cancer that has spread to armpit lymph nodes and are not getting chemotherapy before surgery, this study may be an option.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT06776172Recruiting
Lymph node removal during prostate surgery: a comparison study
This trial tests whether removing pelvic lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery improves outcomes for men with high-risk prostate cancer. If you have high-risk prostate cancer and no signs of spread, you may be able to join.
AarauAges 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 - NCT06754904Recruiting
Skipping lymph node removal for melanoma with good treatment response
This trial tests whether patients with stage 3 melanoma that shrinks significantly after initial immunotherapy can safely avoid having all their lymph nodes surgically removed. Instead, only the main affected node is removed for testing.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 16 years+ - NCT06634979Recruiting
Selective lymph node removal for small lung cancers
This trial compares removing fewer lymph nodes during surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It is for people with a small tumor (2 cm or less) that has both solid and ground-glass parts.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06389786Recruiting
Using a new PET scan to find cancer spread before prostate surgery
This trial tests a special PET/MRI scan that may help doctors see if prostate cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes before surgery. It could help guide treatment decisions for men with high-risk prostate cancer.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 30–85 - NCT06262516Recruiting
Lymph node removal during kidney/ureter cancer surgery
This study looks at whether removing nearby lymph nodes during standard kidney/ureter removal surgery helps people with upper tract urothelial carcinoma. You will be placed into one of two groups – one gets the usual surgery alone, the other gets surgery plus lymph node removal.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 19 years+ - NCT06252129Recruiting
Improving Lymph Node Removal During Lung Cancer Surgery
This trial studies a better way to remove and examine lymph nodes from lung cancer surgery specimens. It aims to improve how doctors check for cancer spread, which may help guide your treatment after surgery.

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+ - NCT04167969RecruitingPhase 1
Nanoparticles to help guide prostate cancer surgery
This Phase 1 study tests nanoparticles (tiny particles) that are meant to help surgeons better find and remove prostate cancer tissue during surgery. You may be offered standard prostate surgery plus imaging with a study tracer to guide the operation.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06554652RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two neck surgeries for thyroid cancer spread
This trial compares two types of neck surgery for people with papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to a small number of lymph nodes in the neck. The goal is to see if a less extensive lymph node removal works just as well as the standard more extensive surgery.
ShanghaiAges 14–80 - NCT06821490Enrolling by invitation
TAD biopsy for HER2+ breast cancer with positive lymph nodes
This trial tests the accuracy of a targeted axillary dissection (TAD) after chemotherapy in people with HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. It aims to see if the TAD method can correctly identify which lymph nodes are cancer-free before surgery.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT05839912Recruiting
Surgery study for melanoma in one lymph node basin
This trial tests whether removing a clinically involved lymph node basin (via a specific lymph node excision surgery) after certain melanoma findings is helpful. It mainly aims to see effects on outcomes and on arm/leg swelling (lymphedema) after surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07441733Recruiting
Using a green dye to map lymph nodes in breast cancer surgery
This trial tests if an injection of indocyanine green dye can help surgeons find and remove only the key lymph nodes in the armpit during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal.
