MoscowAges 1 day–18 years - NCT05200260RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery plus maintenance medicines for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial checks whether having surgery to remove as much tumor as possible, followed by ongoing targeted treatment, helps people with advanced ovarian (and related) cancers live longer and/or control cancer better. It specifically uses tumor-testing results to match patients and then continues treatment after surgery.
FoshanAges 18 years+ - NCT03126916RecruitingPhase 3
Testing added therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding either a targeted drug (lorlatinib) or a radioactive treatment (131I-MIBG) to intensive chemotherapy improves outcomes for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help by aiming at tumor cells more directly alongside standard treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 months–30 years - NCT04063527RecruitingPhase 3
Stage I ovarian cancer treatment after surgery
This trial studies whether an additional treatment after surgery can help people with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer live longer and stay well for more time. It is meant for patients who had a detailed staging operation and are able to start treatment within 8 weeks.
Nagakute-shi, Aichi-kenAges 20 years+ - NCT07382973Recruiting
NTP safety in thyroid surgery: preventing complications
This trial is testing if a technology called NTP (a type of low-temperature plasma) can help prevent complications and improve cancer control when they remove all or part of the thyroid gland. It's for adults having thyroid surgery.
Ocoyoacac, State of MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT07616297Recruiting
Higher Radiation Dose to Avoid Surgery in Rectal Cancer
This study tests whether giving a higher dose of radiation to rectal cancer tumors can help patients avoid surgery altogether. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough that surgery is no longer needed, preserving normal bowel function.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT04527861Recruiting
Minimally invasive single-incision surgery for colon cancer
This trial compares a single-incision laparoscopic operation versus the usual laparoscopic operation for colorectal (colon or “high rectum”) cancer. It looks at cancer outcomes and may help determine which approach is safer and works better for the right patients.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–85 - NCT03983226RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery plus niraparib for returning ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether adding niraparib (a pill treatment that targets cancer cell DNA repair) after surgery can help people with ovarian cancer that has come back. It focuses on “platinum-sensitive” cases and tries to remove all visible tumor when possible.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07080944Recruiting
Lymph node biopsy after chemo for inflammatory breast cancer
This trial is testing if a less invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy can replace more extensive lymph node removal in women with inflammatory breast cancer who have had chemotherapy and whose nodes appear cancer-free. This could help avoid unnecessary side effects.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07235098Recruiting
Music therapy for lung cancer surgery patients
This trial tests whether listening to music in the hospital can help reduce distress and pain after surgery for lung cancer. If you are having a minimally invasive surgery (keyhole surgery) to remove part of your lung, you may be able to join.
Bellinzona, Canton TicinoAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07204665Enrolling by invitation
Emergency surgery vs. stent for colon cancer blockage
This study compares emergency surgery to placing a stent first for people with a blocked colon from cancer. It also looks at whether a special recovery program (ERAS) helps you heal faster after surgery.
Bilbao, VizcayaAges 18 years+ - NCT06401304Recruiting
Value-based breast surgery outcomes study
This study looks at how well breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) works for women with breast cancer or other breast conditions. It will track how you feel, how you look, and your overall satisfaction to help improve future care.
SydneyAges 18 years+ - NCT06624917Recruiting
Green breast surgery study
This study compares a new 'green' breast surgery approach (which reduces waste and uses ultrasound guidance) to standard surgery. It aims to see if the green method is as safe and effective, while also improving quality of life and lowering environmental impact.
RomaAges 18–75 - NCT05334459Recruiting
Radiation and medicines after surgery for new metastatic breast cancer
This trial looks at giving radiation and anti-cancer medicines after surgery to treat newly diagnosed (de novo) metastatic breast cancer. It may help patients by improving local control of the breast area while also treating cancer throughout the body.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT05787197Recruiting
Blood test to guide treatment after colon cancer liver surgery
This trial studies a blood test (called ctDNA) in people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver and is being removed with curative surgery. The goal is to see how the blood test can help with planning and improving treatment after surgery.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06923787RecruitingPhase 2
