New treatment for thyroid cancer that spread to neck lymph nodes
This study tests a minimally invasive treatment called irreversible electroporation for thyroid cancer that has come back or spread to lymph nodes in the neck. It may be an option for people who can't have another surgery or for whom radioactive iodine therapy hasn't worked.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07632664Recruiting
New treatment model for older lung cancer surgery patients
This study tests a new approach to help older adults (65+) with early-stage lung cancer who are candidates for surgery. The goal is to improve outcomes by using a special assessment to understand each patient's overall health before and after the operation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT04403867Recruiting
Study of tiny cancer spread found in sentinel lymph nodes
This trial studies whether very small deposits of cancer (called micrometastasis or isolated tumor cells) are found in sentinel lymph nodes in early endometrial or cervical cancer. The goal is to better understand what these findings may mean for cancer spread and treatment planning.
MilanAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT05076942RecruitingPhase 2
Study of sentinel lymph nodes in vulvar cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at how vulvar squamous cell cancer (SCC) spreads to the sentinel lymph node, and how findings may guide treatment. It focuses on specific early-stage tumor features and requires that cancer is found in the sentinel lymph node.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05596578Recruiting
Study of lymph nodes during lung surgery for early lung cancer
This study looks at certain lymph nodes removed during surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has grown into the covering of the lung. The goal is to better understand lymph node involvement and help guide future treatment decisions.
LucerneAges 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+ - NCT06001528Recruiting
Predicting lymph node spread in breast cancer
This study looks at whether substances called metabolites in your blood and breast tissue can help predict if breast cancer has spread to the first lymph node (sentinel node). If you are scheduled for breast cancer surgery and have not had prior treatment, the study team will use your blood and tissue samples to try to improve prediction.
Shantou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06031246RecruitingPhase 3
Lymph node surgery study for early-stage lung cancer in the upper lung
This trial tests whether a more focused lymph node removal during surgery is safe and effective for people with a small, early-stage lung cancer (non-small cell type) located in the top part of the lung (apical segment).
Shanghai, Please SelectAges 18–80 - NCT06065891Recruiting
Lymph node removal in pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial studies whether removing extra lymph nodes during surgery for pancreatic cancer can help find if the cancer has spread. It is for patients whose tumor is considered removable or borderline removable.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT06135571Recruiting
Lymph node patterns in left colon and rectal cancer
This study looks at how colon and rectal cancer on the left side spreads to nearby lymph nodes (No.253). It is for people who have had laparoscopic surgery and whose cancer is still only in the colon or rectum. The goal is to better understand these patterns to help guide future treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06264167Recruiting
Ultrasound for groin lymph nodes in vulvar cancer
This trial tests whether using ultrasound of the groin can help find cancer spread in the lymph nodes of women with early-stage vulvar cancer. The goal is to see if ultrasound can replace or reduce the need for more invasive surgery.
Brisbane, QueenslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06358222Recruiting
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 - 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 - NCT06448897Recruiting
AI model to predict lymph node spread in cervical cancer
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze your preoperative MRI and pathology results to better predict if cervical cancer has spread to pelvic lymph nodes. The goal is to improve future treatment decisions for patients with cervical cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lymph node metastasis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 118 recruiting lymph node metastasis 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 metastasis 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 metastasis 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.
