Extending lymph node removal during liver tumor surgery
This study looks at whether removing more lymph nodes while surgically removing an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer in the liver) improves outcomes. It may help by better checking and treating possible microscopic spread to lymph nodes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT05236686Recruiting
Surgery to remove upper abdomen lymph nodes for ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether removing lymph nodes in the upper abdomen (hepatoceliac lymph nodes) improves outcomes for people with stage III or IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has spread to those lymph nodes. It also looks at how this surgery works for people with certain types of relapse, often alongside chemotherapy.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06121089Recruiting
Surgery for early-stage cecal cancer
This trial is testing different surgical approaches for people with cecal cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to find the best treatment option for patients whose tumors are at a stage where surgery can be curative.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06688760Recruiting
Surgery vs surgery plus lower-dose radiation for early nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two treatments for newly diagnosed Stage I nasopharyngeal cancer: surgery alone versus surgery followed by a lower dose of radiation. The goal is to see if adding a gentler radiation dose can prevent the cancer from coming back without too many side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07378670Recruiting
Penile cancer surgery study
This trial tests a new approach to groin lymph node surgery in men with penile cancer. It aims to reduce side effects while still being effective.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT02139605Recruiting
Surgery type trial for stomach cancer after chemo
This trial studies which surgical approach (removing lymph nodes in a more limited vs more extensive way) works best for gastric cancer after you’ve already started chemotherapy before surgery. It’s aimed at improving cancer control while keeping the operation as safe as possible.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–85 - NCT07777887Recruiting
Finding lymph nodes during testicular cancer surgery
This trial tests a way for surgeons to find the first lymph nodes that testicular cancer might spread to, using a special camera and a dye. It could help doctors decide if you need extra treatment after surgery to remove the testicle.
Saint Petersburg, Sankt-PeterburgAges 18–60 - NCT05646316RecruitingPhase 3
Sentinel lymph node mapping to reduce leg swelling after surgery
This study tests whether a special way of finding lymph nodes during hysterectomy can lower the risk of long-term leg swelling or related dysfunction in people with stage I endometrial cancer. It compares standard lymph node assessment with sentinel lymph node mapping and looks at how this affects day-to-day leg functioning.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05280353Recruiting
Glubran 2 glue during breast lymph node surgery
This study looks at using a special medical glue (Glubran 2) to help during axillary lymph node surgery in people having breast cancer surgery. It may reduce how much fluid leaks after surgery and improve healing, but you would be checked carefully to see if you’re a good match for the trial.
