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 - 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 - NCT03438474Recruiting
Lymph node surgery study for certain early endometrial cancers
This trial studies whether adding lymph node removal (lymphadenectomy) during surgery helps people with certain early-stage endometrial cancer. It focuses on patients who do not have visibly enlarged lymph nodes and who can safely have the operation.
AalenAges 18–75 - NCT07378670Recruiting
Surgery for penile cancer: comparing two groin lymph node removal approaches
This study compares two ways of removing lymph nodes in the groin to treat or prevent the spread of penile cancer. It looks at which surgery might be safer and more effective for patients with early to moderate stage disease.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06887205Recruiting
Lymphatic reconstruction after melanoma surgery: a pilot study
This trial tests a surgical procedure called immediate lymphatic reconstruction for melanoma patients who need lymph node removal. It aims to reduce swelling and improve recovery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07789184RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery versus no surgery after successful conversion therapy for stomach cancer with peritoneal spread
This trial compares having surgery to remove stomach cancer versus not having surgery in patients whose cancer in the abdominal lining responded well to initial treatment. The goal is to see which approach helps patients live longer and feel better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT02543710RecruitingPhase 4
Biomarker-guided treatment for endometrial cancer
This study uses a tumor “biomarker” test to guide treatment in people with endometrial cancer (and sometimes epithelial ovarian cancer). It tests whether tailoring weekly chemotherapy (paclitaxel) based on biomarker levels can help patients, especially when the cancer has come back or is advanced.
NijmegenAges 18–95 - NCT04581122Recruiting
Tests how lymph node surgery choices affect lung nodule outcomes
This study looks at whether different lymph node removal methods during lung surgery change outcomes for certain abnormal lung spots. It focuses on ground-glass nodules that stay the same after treatment-free observation and have a mostly solid portion on CT.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06121700RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoimmunotherapy and radiation before surgery for limited spread stomach cancer
This trial tests combining chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation before surgery for stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to a limited number of sites. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes by shrinking tumors before they are removed.
