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 - NCT07615374Recruiting
Combined laparo-endoscopic sentinel node surgery for early stomach cancer
This trial tests a surgical technique that combines two types of minimally invasive procedures (laparoscopy and endoscopy) to find and remove the first lymph node that might contain cancer (called the sentinel lymph node) in people with early stomach cancer. The goal is to remove only the necessary lymph nodes, potentially reducing side effects while ensuring the cancer hasn't spread.
Changchun, JilinAges Any age - 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+ - 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 - NCT05618821RecruitingPhase 2
Indocyanine green dye during stomach surgery for leftover cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special light-activated dye (indocyanine green) during laparoscopic stomach surgery can improve surgical outcomes for people with remnant (leftover) stomach cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help surgeons better find lymph nodes while operating.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07858630Recruiting
Radiation targeting for advanced esophageal cancer with immunotherapy
This trial studies how to best target radiation for people with advanced esophageal cancer who are also getting immunotherapy. It aims to improve treatment planning to help patients live longer with fewer side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06341595RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo, radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for stomach cancer with PALM
This trial tests combining chemotherapy, radiation, and an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) before surgery for advanced stomach cancer that has spread to lymph nodes near the aorta (called PALM). The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor enough to allow complete removal.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06161207RecruitingPhase 3
Laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer using 3D and dye
This trial tests a new way to remove stomach cancer using 3D-4K cameras and a special dye during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It may help surgeons see the cancer better and remove it more precisely.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07708012Recruiting
Laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery for early stomach cancer
This study tests a less invasive surgery for early stomach cancer that combines a camera in the belly with a scope down the throat. It aims to remove the cancer while saving as much of the stomach as possible, which may mean a quicker recovery and better quality of life.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06727162Recruiting
Ultrasound to check lymph nodes after head and neck cancer treatment
This trial uses contrast-enhanced ultrasound (a special type of ultrasound) to see how well neck lymph nodes respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapy given before surgery for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
