PSMA PET scan to guide lymph node surgery in prostatectomy
This study tests whether a special prostate scan called PSMA PET/CT can help doctors decide which pelvic lymph nodes to remove during prostate surgery. It may improve who needs lymph node surgery by using scan results to guide the operation.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06559371Recruiting
PET scan to check lymph nodes after breast cancer treatment
This study uses a special PET scan (68Ga FAPI) to check if lymph nodes under the arm still have cancer after you finish pre-surgery treatment. It helps doctors see how well the treatment worked before you have surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06619002Recruiting
Using video to make uterine cancer surgery safer
This study is collecting videos from a type of minimally invasive surgery called sentinel lymph node dissection for endometrial or cervical cancer. The goal is to use deep learning (a type of artificial intelligence) to help surgeons identify important structures and any spread of cancer during the procedure, making the surgery safer and more effective.
RomaAges 18–99 - NCT06605521Recruiting
Study on removing lymph nodes above the collarbone for breast cancer
This trial tests if removing cancerous lymph nodes above the collarbone helps treat breast cancer that has spread there. It aims to see if this surgery, along with standard treatments, is safe and effective.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT05421650Recruiting
Surgery to remove pelvic lymph node spread in cervical cancer
This trial studies whether surgically removing cancerous pelvic or nearby lymph nodes before or as part of standard treatment improves outcomes for women with certain cervical cancers. It focuses on people whose scans suggest lymph node metastasis can be safely removed.
BengaluruAges 20–70 - NCT05976412Recruiting
Radiation to lymph nodes after surgery for higher-risk breast cancer
This trial looks at whether adding targeted radiation to lymph nodes after breast surgery can lower the chance of breast cancer coming back in people with higher-risk, node-negative disease. If you qualify, you may get a planned radiation approach designed for prevention, not treatment of spread.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06518135Recruiting
Sentinel node biopsy after chemo for initial node-positive breast cancer
This trial checks whether a less invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy (removing just a few nodes) can safely replace full lymph node removal for people whose breast cancer and underarm lymph nodes responded well to chemotherapy. It is for patients who initially had 1 to 3 involved nodes and now appear cancer-free in the armpit.
Henan, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT06776172Recruiting
Lymph node removal during prostate surgery: a comparison study
This trial tests whether removing pelvic lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery improves outcomes for men with high-risk prostate cancer. If you have high-risk prostate cancer and no signs of spread, you may be able to join.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT07003490Recruiting
Lung cancer surgery with removal of lymph nodes on the other side
This study looks at whether removing lymph nodes from the opposite side of the chest during surgery can help people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in the middle of the chest. It may offer a more thorough treatment for patients who are healthy enough for surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07023601Enrolling by invitation
Study of sentinel node detection in recurrent vulvar cancer
This study tests whether a special dye injection can reliably find the first lymph node that might contain cancer in women whose vulvar cancer has come back for the first time. It aims to help doctors know if the cancer has spread without removing many lymph nodes.
Madrid, MadridAges 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+ - NCT03366051Recruiting
Check mapping of the first lymph node in high-risk uterine cancer
This trial studies how to find the “sentinel” (first) lymph node during surgery for high-risk endometrial (uterine) cancer. It may help surgeons better tell whether cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes and guide the extent of lymph node removal.
Curitiba, ParanáAges 18–75 - NCT07686016Recruiting
Radiation therapy for prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots
This trial studies the use of radiation to the prostate and to all visible spots where cancer has spread, in men who have up to 10 small areas of spread when first diagnosed. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer.
Zamość, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT07477626RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation therapy after prostate surgery for advanced prostate cancer
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+ - NCT06559696RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation to internal mammary lymph nodes for high-risk breast cancer after chemo
This trial tests whether giving radiation to the internal mammary lymph nodes (the lymph nodes behind your breastbone) can help women with high-risk breast cancer after they have had chemotherapy before surgery. It is for people whose cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes despite chemotherapy.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07622836Recruiting
Chemotherapy plus QL1706 for high-risk triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests whether adding a new immunotherapy drug called QL1706 to standard chemotherapy after surgery can help patients with aggressive triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination prevents cancer from coming back.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06972511RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Maximal tumor removal for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This trial tests a combination of surgery and radiation to remove as much cancer as possible in men with prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots outside the prostate. It aims to see if this aggressive approach can improve long-term outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06449313RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery for stage 3 disease
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery can help shrink stage 3 lung cancer and improve outcomes. The goal is to make the tumor easier to remove and possibly lower the chance of it coming back.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 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 - NCT04443478Recruiting
Keyhole versus open lymph node surgery for junction cancer
This trial compares two ways of removing lymph nodes during surgery: keyhole (laparoscopic) versus open surgery. It is for people with esophagus-stomach junction adenocarcinoma, aiming to see which approach works better and is safer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT04858880Recruiting
Personalized radiation for PSA rise after prostate surgery
This study tests a tailored (personalized) radiation plan for men whose PSA (“prostate blood test”) rises after prostate surgery but who have no detectable spread on scans. It may help control cancer growth by targeting the right area based on your situation.
