SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05884723Recruiting
Ketogenic diet before liver surgery for fatty liver
This trial tests whether a ketogenic (very low-carb) diet before liver surgery can reduce fat in the liver. It is aimed at people with colorectal liver metastases who already have fatty liver seen on scans or biopsy.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05918510Recruiting
Blood and tumor study for virus markers in throat cancer
This study looks at virus-related markers and tiny gene regulators (microRNAs) in tumor tissue from people with certain throat cancers caused by human papilloma virus (HPV). It’s observational, meaning it does not change your treatment, but results may help doctors better understand these cancers and how they behave.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT05933876Recruiting
Radiation study for limited spread cancer
This trial looks at whether giving radiation treatment to tumors in people with a limited number of metastases can help control the cancer. It is for adults with certain cancer types that have spread to specific organs, and who can manage daily activities with little or no help.
Albacete, AlbaceteAges 18 years+ - NCT05947695Recruiting
Nurse-led comfort and survivorship care for advanced cancer
This study looks at whether a specialized nurse-led care plan soon after diagnosis/treatment helps people living with advanced (metastatic) cancer. It focuses on patients expected to do better than average based on certain prognosis factors.
West Islip, New YorkAges 21 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 - NCT06042946Recruiting
Surgery for spinal cord tumors that spread from other cancers
This trial is for adults who have a specific type of spinal cord tumor that has spread from another cancer. It looks at how well a surgery called microsurgical resection works to remove the tumor and what happens to patients before and after the procedure.
