Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06652672Recruiting
Sentinel Node and Organ-Sparing Surgery for Early Colon Cancer
This trial tests a less invasive surgery approach for early-stage colon cancer. It uses a special dye to find and remove only the first lymph node (sentinel node) while removing just the part of the colon with the tumor, possibly avoiding a bigger surgery.
AmersfoortAges 18 years+ - NCT06716619RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immune cell treatment made from your own lymph nodes for advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard therapies or have no good treatment options. It aims to see if this personalized cell therapy is safe and can help shrink tumors.
Guangzhou, GaungdongAges 18–75 - NCT03796559Recruiting
Magnetic marker helps find breast cancer lymph nodes
This study uses a tiny magnetic marker (called Magseed) placed in a breast cancer–affected underarm lymph node, then tracks whether surgeons can find and remove the correct nodes after chemotherapy. It may help reduce the chance of missing cancer in the underarm while aiming for more accurate surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06621823Recruiting
Robotic ultrasound to check lymph nodes during gynecologic cancer surgery
This trial tests a new robotic ultrasound tool to see if it can better find cancer in lymph nodes during surgery. It may help doctors decide exactly which nodes to remove, avoiding unnecessary surgery.
RomaAges 18–99 - 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 - NCT04722692RecruitingPhase 3
Delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy for ductal cancer in situ
This trial tests whether doing a sentinel lymph node biopsy later (after breast surgery) is a safe, accurate way to check if cancer has spread. It uses a special tracking shot that helps find the lymph nodes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05108090Recruiting
Sentinel node biopsy for head and neck skin cancer
This study checks whether a “sentinel lymph node biopsy” can help find if skin cancer in the head or neck has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It uses special dye/medicine and imaging, then removes the cancer and the sentinel node soon after scanning.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07131566Recruiting
Immune response in neck lymph nodes in head and neck cancer
This study looks at how the immune system in the lymph nodes of the neck responds to head and neck cancer. It will help researchers understand how the body fights these cancers, which could lead to better treatments.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06736847Recruiting
Lymph node spread in stomach cancer surgery
This trial looks at how stomach cancer spreads to lymph nodes and other tissues behind the stomach during surgery. It may help doctors understand which patients need more extensive surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT06977698Recruiting
Detecting cancer margins during breast surgery
This study tests a new method to check for leftover cancer cells and lymph node spread during breast surgery. It may help doctors make sure all cancer is removed the first time.
NottinghamAges Any age - 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+ - NCT06728878Recruiting
Lymph node spread after total stomach removal for stomach cancer
This study looks at where cancer spreads in the short stomach area after total stomach removal surgery. It aims to understand lymph node and tumor deposits better to help guide future treatment decisions.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT06906705Recruiting
Ultrasound to Check Lymph Nodes During Gynecological Cancer Surgery
This study uses a special ultrasound probe during surgery to check lymph nodes for cancer. It aims to see if this tool can help doctors make better decisions during your gynecological cancer surgery without needing extra tests.
RomaAges 18–99 - NCT07139418Recruiting
Studying lymph nodes around the stomach in cancer surgery
This trial studies the importance of checking lymph nodes in the fatty tissue around the stomach during stomach cancer surgery. It helps doctors understand if examining these specific areas can improve treatment decisions.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT07447869RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Lymph Node Exam in Cat Allergy Treatment Study
This study looks at lymph nodes in the neck to understand how the body responds to cat allergy treatments. It may help researchers improve allergy shots or other therapies for people with cat allergies.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT07616297Recruiting
Higher Radiation Dose to Avoid Surgery in Rectal Cancer
This study tests whether giving a higher dose of radiation to rectal cancer tumors can help patients avoid surgery altogether. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough that surgery is no longer needed, preserving normal bowel function.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06997913Enrolling by invitation
Immunotherapy and chemoradiation after bile duct cancer surgery
This trial tests whether combining immunotherapy with chemotherapy and radiation after surgery can help prevent bile duct cancer from coming back in people who have a high risk of recurrence.
XiAn, ShanxiAges 18–70 - NCT06495593Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Ocrelizumab's effect on immune cells in lymph nodes in MS
This study tests how ocrelizumab, a medication for MS, affects immune cells in your lymph nodes. It may help doctors understand how the drug works and why it helps some people more than others.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lymph node excision?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 22 recruiting lymph node excision studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a lymph node excision trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a lymph node excision trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
