Curitiba, ParanáAges 18–75 - NCT04019678Recruiting
Breast cancer study after chemotherapy with small underarm node spread
This study looks at whether it’s safe and effective to avoid removing many underarm lymph nodes in some people who, after chemotherapy, still seem to have only tiny (“micro”) cancer deposits in the sentinel lymph node. It may help reduce treatment side effects while keeping cancer control.
Rozzano, MIAges 18–75 - NCT06623266Recruiting
Observation vs. neck surgery for early mouth cancer
This study compares two approaches for early-stage mouth cancer: careful observation of the neck versus a preventive surgery to remove neck lymph nodes. The goal is to see which strategy works better to prevent cancer from spreading.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05763641Recruiting
Targeted treatment after chemo for certain breast cancers
This trial studies an additional treatment given after chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer that has spread to specific underarm lymph nodes. It may help some people reduce cancer returning, especially when tumors match certain growth and spread features.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06149637Recruiting
Lateral neck lymph node surgery for thyroid cancer
This trial tests a surgical procedure to remove cancer-affected lymph nodes on the side of the neck in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for those with confirmed or suspected spread to these nodes.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 18–99 - NCT07131566Recruiting

This study tests whether radiation therapy to the pelvis after prostate removal helps men whose cancer was found in nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to prevent cancer from coming back and improve survival.
Dongguan, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04594187RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation after immunotherapy for melanoma that spread to a sentinel node
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding radiation to the lymph node area can help people with melanoma that has a positive sentinel lymph node. It is meant for patients without spread to distant organs, who are already planning to receive post-surgery immunotherapy.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05645523RecruitingEarly Phase 1
ICG dye mapping to find lymph nodes in some childhood tumors
This early study tests using a special dye (indocyanine green, or ICG) to help surgeons find the correct “sentinel” lymph nodes during surgery in children with certain suspected tumors. If successful, it may improve how doctors remove and check lymph nodes while reducing the chance of missing important areas.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 20 years - NCT07708012Enrolling by invitation
Laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery for early stomach cancer
This trial studies a combined surgical approach using a camera through small incisions (laparoscopy) and a flexible tube through the mouth (endoscopy) to treat early-stage stomach cancer. It aims to see if this approach can safely remove the cancer while sparing nearby lymph nodes.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT03545256Recruiting
Outpatient surgery to map lymph nodes in mouth and throat cancer
This trial studies a planned, same-day (outpatient) surgery approach to find and check cancer spread to nearby lymph nodes in early-stage mouth and throat squamous cell cancer. It may help doctors remove the right lymph nodes and decide on any needed further treatment.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT04741737Recruiting
Repeat lymph node biopsy for recurrent breast cancer
This study tests whether repeating a specific lymph node biopsy (sentinel lymph node biopsy) is safe and useful in people whose breast cancer has come back in the same breast. It may help doctors better understand whether lymph nodes are involved and guide next steps after surgery.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05437380Recruiting
Ultrasound with microbubbles to find and biopsy neck lymph nodes
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound test using “microbubbles” can help doctors find lymph nodes that may contain cancer in people with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. If the test finds suspicious nodes, it may guide where to do a biopsy during planned neck surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05899361Recruiting
Imaging protocol to map lymph nodes and urologic organs
This trial studies a new way to use medical scans to better find lymph nodes and nearby urologic organs before surgery. It may help surgeons plan operations for cancers or other conditions in the urologic area.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06104371Recruiting
Magnetic markers to find lymph nodes before chemo for breast cancer
This trial tests a new method using magnetic markers (Magtrace and Magseed) to find lymph nodes before chemotherapy. It may help doctors better target the lymph nodes that need to be removed during breast cancer surgery.
GothenburgAges 18–85 - NCT06321653Recruiting
Lymphedema after radiation for early breast cancer with 1-2 positive nodes
This trial aims to see if a shorter course of radiation after breast-conserving surgery affects arm swelling (lymphedema) in people with early breast cancer that has spread to 1 or 2 nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to learn if this approach is safe and effective.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06327490RecruitingPhase 2
ICG-guided vs. traditional lymphatic drainage for breast cancer surgery
This trial compares a new imaging method (ICG) to the standard method for manual lymphatic drainage during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce swelling in the arm after lymph node removal.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT06354738Recruiting
Endometrial cancer study with genetic and surgical insights
