The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 22–65 - NCT07528638Recruiting
Nerve monitoring during breast cancer lymph node surgery
This study tests whether special nerve-monitoring equipment and a specific type of surgical tool can reduce nerve damage during lymph node removal surgery for breast cancer. Researchers want to see if these techniques help preserve arm and shoulder function after surgery.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT07529626Recruiting
Stress and Pancreatic Cancer Disease Outcomes Study
This research study examines how chronic psychological stress (long-term worry, anxiety, or emotional burden) affects the course of pancreatic cancer and related pancreatic diseases. Understanding this connection may help doctors provide better support and treatment plans for patients.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07532083Recruiting
AI-Assisted Imaging Report Summaries for Cancer Patients
This study tests new AI-created summaries of cancer imaging reports (like CT or MRI scans) that are written in plain language to help you better understand your results. Researchers want to see if these summaries help cancer patients and their doctors communicate more clearly about imaging findings.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07532824RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Proton Radiation and Stem Cell Transplant for High-Risk Blood Cancers
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy (proton-based) combined with a stem cell transplant from a donor to treat advanced forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The goal is to improve survival in patients with aggressive or hard-to-treat disease.
PragueAges 18–65 - NCT07527689Recruiting
Faster vs. Standard Radiation After Breast Cancer Surgery
This study compares two radiation schedules for breast cancer patients at high risk of cancer returning in lymph nodes. Both use modern radiation therapy, but one delivers treatment faster (ultra-hypofractionated) while the other uses a more moderate schedule. The goal is to see which approach works better with fewer side effects.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07528079Enrolling by invitation
Personalized Chemotherapy for Children with Advanced Soft Tissue Tumors
This trial uses lab-grown tumor samples from your child to test which chemotherapy drugs work best for their specific cancer. The goal is to find the most effective treatment by testing medicines on their tumor cells before giving them to your child.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1–18 - NCT07528209RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy for advanced rectal cancer
This study tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (pucotenlimab) to standard chemotherapy (CAPOX) before surgery helps treat locally advanced rectal cancer better. The goal is to shrink tumors and improve survival while preserving bowel function when possible.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07528274RecruitingPhase 2
Microwave ablation with immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests combining microwave ablation (heat treatment of tumors) with two drugs—tislelizumab (an immune-boosting drug) and docetaxel (chemotherapy)—for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease progressed after initial immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or shrink tumors better than standard treatment alone.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07530887RecruitingPhase 3
Melanoma Re-excision Study: Testing Observation Without Surgery
This study tests whether patients with moderate-thickness skin melanoma need additional surgery after their initial tumor removal, or if careful monitoring alone is enough. The goal is to avoid unnecessary surgery while keeping patients safe.
's-HertogenboschAges Any age - NCT07527416Recruiting
Understanding Stories Adolescents Tell About Cancer
This study asks adolescents and young adults who received cancer treatment to share their experiences and stories. Researchers will analyze what you write or say to better understand how young people cope with cancer and improve care for future patients.
Aviano, ItalyAges 13–25 - NCT07531836Recruiting
Prehabilitation for older adults having breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a program of exercise and support before breast cancer surgery to help older patients recover better. It aims to improve strength and overall health so you can get back to your daily life sooner after the operation.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 65 years+ - NCT07528183RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy after chemo and radiation for recurrent nose cancer
This trial tests whether maintenance immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor) followed by delayed salvage radiation therapy can help keep your cancer under control after you have already responded to initial chemo-immunotherapy. It is for people with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma that has come back in the nose or neck area, but has not spread to distant organs.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT07527702Recruiting
Comparing suction pressures after lung cancer surgery
This study tests two different suction pressures used on chest tubes after lung cancer surgery to see which helps patients recover better. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to remove fluid and air from the chest cavity after surgery.
