It is for women with HER2-negative breast cancer who have had stable disease after two cycles of a standard chemotherapy combination.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06121570RecruitingPhase 1
Study of immune cells from lymph nodes for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether using a patient's own immune cells from lymph nodes near the tumor, given as a treatment before surgery, can help shrink HER2-negative breast cancer. It is for people whose cancer has not responded fully to two cycles of initial chemotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04581122Recruiting
Tests how lymph node surgery choices affect lung nodule outcomes
This study looks at whether different lymph node removal methods during lung surgery change outcomes for certain abnormal lung spots. It focuses on ground-glass nodules that stay the same after treatment-free observation and have a mostly solid portion on CT.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT04665882Recruiting
Prediction tool for arm swelling after breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a prediction tool (a “nomogram”) to estimate who is at risk of developing breast cancer–related lymphedema, or long-term arm swelling, after surgery. If you fit the surgery and lymph node criteria, your information may help personalize follow-up and prevention.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT05618821RecruitingPhase 2
Indocyanine green dye during stomach surgery for leftover cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special light-activated dye (indocyanine green) during laparoscopic stomach surgery can improve surgical outcomes for people with remnant (leftover) stomach cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help surgeons better find lymph nodes while operating.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT03587480Recruiting
Surgery methods after chemo-radiation for stage 3 rectal cancer
This trial compares two different surgery approaches after chemo-radiation for stage 3 rectal cancer. It aims to see which operation helps control the cancer more effectively while keeping surgery as safe as possible.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05378087Recruiting
Compare two ways to plan treatment for cervical cancer
This study compares two staging methods—using surgery results versus imaging tests—to help doctors plan treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer. It may improve how accurately the cancer is mapped, which could affect treatment choices and outcomes.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05625373RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Antibiotic powder during groin surgery to prevent infection
This trial studies whether placing an antibiotic powder (vancomycin) directly in the surgical wound during groin lymph node surgery can lower the risk of surgical site infections. It may help reduce wound infections after surgery for vulvar dysplasia.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06161207RecruitingPhase 3
Laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer using 3D and dye
This trial tests a new way to remove stomach cancer using 3D-4K cameras and a special dye during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It may help surgeons see the cancer better and remove it more precisely.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06688760Recruiting
Surgery vs surgery plus lower-dose radiation for early nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two treatments for newly diagnosed Stage I nasopharyngeal cancer: surgery alone versus surgery followed by a lower dose of radiation. The goal is to see if adding a gentler radiation dose can prevent the cancer from coming back without too many side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07546695Recruiting
Axillary lymph node surgery choices for HER2+ and triple-negative breast cancer
This study examines the best surgical approach for removing underarm lymph nodes in patients with HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer who have received chemotherapy before surgery and still have cancer in their lymph nodes. The goal is to understand whether removing more lymph nodes improves outcomes for these patients.
BaselAges Any age - NCT06398613Recruiting
Using PSMA PET scan before prostate cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether a special scan (PSMA PET/CT) before surgery can help doctors decide if you need to remove lymph nodes. It is for men with high-risk prostate cancer who are already planning to have robot-assisted prostate removal.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07528638Recruiting
Nerve monitoring during breast cancer lymph node surgery
This study tests whether special nerve-monitoring equipment and a specific type of surgical tool can reduce nerve damage during lymph node removal surgery for breast cancer. Researchers want to see if these techniques help preserve arm and shoulder function after surgery.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT07519486RecruitingPhase 2
Nutrition support during cancer treatment before surgery
This trial tests whether intensive nutritional support helps patients with advanced esophageal cancer (a type of squamous cell carcinoma) respond better to treatment before surgery. The goal is to improve how well the cancer shrinks and prepare the body for a successful operation.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06806917Recruiting
Study on lymph node surgery for testicular cancer over 20 years
This study reviews 20 years of experience in removing lymph nodes in the abdomen (RPLND) for testicular cancer. It aims to understand the outcomes of this surgery for people who had it after chemotherapy or for early-stage cancer.
