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.

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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06534814Recruiting
AI tool to find lymph node spread in gastric cancer
This trial is testing a new artificial intelligence (AI) model to help doctors better identify whether gastric cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. If you qualify, you may help improve how this cancer is diagnosed and treated, without any extra invasive procedures.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 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+ - NCT06810349Recruiting
Using AI to find cancer origin from lymph node biopsy
This study uses computer intelligence (deep learning) to analyze cells from a lymph node biopsy to find where in the body a cancer might have started. It looks at past patient data and images to train a program that could help doctors in the future.
Chengdu, SichuanAges Any age - NCT06829147Recruiting
AI to diagnose lymph node spread in nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether a computer model can accurately detect if cancer has spread to lymph nodes in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It uses MRI and PET/CT scans taken before treatment to see if the AI can replace or supplement current methods.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06840418Recruiting
New imaging to find cancer spread in cervical cancer surgery
This study tests a new imaging technique (NIRFI with ICG dye) to help surgeons see if cervical cancer has spread to lymph nodes during your hysterectomy surgery. It may help guide more precise removal of affected nodes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07362485Recruiting
Finding sentinel nodes during mastectomy with dye
This trial tests if a special dye (indocyanine green) can find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) during mastectomy. It may help improve staging for women with early breast cancer who need or choose mastectomy.
Zwolle, OverijsselAges 18 years+ - NCT07328243Recruiting
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+ - NCT07304934Recruiting
New blood test model to check lymph node status in breast cancer
This study uses a blood test and imaging to predict whether breast cancer has spread to underarm lymph nodes, helping guide surgery. It may reduce unnecessary lymph node removal.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07155954Recruiting
Super-Resolution Ultrasound to Tell Benign from Malignant Lymph Nodes
This study uses a special high-detail ultrasound technique to better tell if lymph nodes are harmless (benign) or cancerous (malignant). It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies or surgeries in the future.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07154563Recruiting
Quick test for breast cancer spread to lymph nodes using a new probe
This trial uses a special probe that lights up cancer cells to quickly check if breast cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It may help doctors decide how much surgery is needed.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07146295Recruiting
ICG dye to find sentinel nodes in breast cancer surgery
This trial tests using a green dye called ICG (indocyanine green) during breast cancer surgery to find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) that cancer may have spread to. It aims to help doctors locate these nodes more accurately, and is for people with early-stage breast cancer that has not yet spread to the lymph nodes.

Predicting lymph node spread in early stomach cancer
This study tests if artificial intelligence can predict whether early-stage stomach cancer has spread to lymph nodes. It also evaluates how well doctors assess the cancer. If the technology works, it could help guide treatment decisions.

Hefei, AnhuiAges 50 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lymph node metastasis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 112 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.
