Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06495645Recruiting
Computer-aided endoscopy to find stomach growths
This trial tests a computer-aided system used during upper endoscopy to find stomach growths that might be missed. It may help improve detection of early stomach cancer or precancerous changes.
Hong KongAges 40 years+ - NCT06495736Recruiting
Rapid testing during lymph node biopsy for breast cancer
This study tests a quick method to examine lymph node samples during breast cancer surgery. It may help doctors get results faster and plan your treatment better.
