Faster radiation scheduling for aggressive non-small cell lung cancer
This trial studies a new way of giving radiation therapy to the chest for lung cancer that is growing quickly. The approach uses a special schedule to damage the cancer more effectively, which might improve how well the treatment works.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07821879Recruiting
Early ovarian cancer detection via cervical smear testing
This study looks at whether a standard cervical smear test can help find ovarian cancer earlier. The test searches for genetic changes linked to high-grade serous ovarian cancer in cells collected from the cervix, possibly enabling earlier diagnosis.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT07818135Recruiting
Comparing two robotic surgery methods for removing lung cancer
This study compares two different ways of doing robotic lung surgery to remove cancer. It looks at whether using one method (with an extra opening) is better than the standard method for people with early-stage lung cancer that can be removed.

This study looks at what happens to people who have a stroke while they also have active cancer. By tracking their recovery, doctors hope to learn better ways to care for patients with both conditions.
Suita, OsakaAges Any age - NCT07822347Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new treatment for advanced tumors with low oxygen
This trial tests a new drug that targets tumors with a specific marker you can see on a PET scan. It is for people whose cancer has spread or come back after standard treatments, and it may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07824791Recruiting
Predicting return of Crohn's disease after bowel surgery
This study looks at what happens to people with Crohn's disease after they have surgery to remove a diseased part of their intestine. The goal is to find patterns or signs that might help predict whether the disease will come back, which could help doctors plan better follow-up care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07825597Recruiting
Using a special dye to see head and neck cancer during surgery
This trial tests a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) that makes cancer cells glow under a special camera during surgery. It may help doctors remove more cancer and leave healthy tissue alone.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07825129Enrolling by invitation
Protective device for rectal and lower colon tumor surgery
This trial tests a disposable device that isolates and protects the intestines during laparoscopic surgery for tumors in the rectum or lower sigmoid colon. It may help reduce complications and improve recovery after surgery.
Beijing, Xicheng DisAges 22 years+ - NCT07820644Recruiting
Liver cancer risk prediction in chronic liver disease
This study aims to predict the risk of developing liver cancer in people with chronic liver conditions such as hepatitis B or C, cirrhosis, or fatty liver disease. By participating, you may help researchers improve early detection and prevention strategies for liver cancer.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07823283Recruiting
Monitoring blood flow after free flap surgery
This study tests a device that continuously checks blood flow in the new tissue after free flap surgery. It may help doctors detect problems earlier, which could improve recovery.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07817329Recruiting
Nutritional support for advanced lung cancer patients
This trial tests whether providing extra nutritional support to people with advanced lung cancer before they start their first chemotherapy or other treatment can improve their health. The goal is to see if good nutrition helps patients tolerate treatment better and maintain their strength.
Peschiera del Garda, VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT07817641Recruiting
Proton therapy for lymphoma in the chest
This trial tests proton therapy, a precise type of radiation, to treat lymphoma in the chest. The goal is to reduce damage to healthy organs while still curing the cancer.
Copenhagen, Select A StateAges 18 years+ - NCT04520737Recruiting
Exercise coaching during chemotherapy for liver metastases
This trial studies whether a “prehab” program—structured exercise and preparation—can help people keep up function while they are on chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. If you can safely exercise, the program may help you tolerate treatment and stay active.
TarragonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04196595Recruiting
Apple study for women’s health using an iPhone app
