Magnetic lymph node mapping for stomach cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a magnetic tracer to find lymph nodes near the stomach during surgery. It aims to help doctors know if the cancer has spread, which can guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be able to give informed consent (agree to take part).
- You must have a biopsy-confirmed gastric cancer (stomach cancer) and are planning to have surgery to remove it.
- Your cancer must not have spread to other parts of the body (no distant metastases).
- The tumor must be 4 cm or smaller in diameter, as measured by endoscopy before treatment.
- You must not have allergies to iron oxide compounds or iodides, and must not have iron overload disorder (too much iron in the body).

This trial tests a new image-guided method to find and remove sentinel lymph nodes (the first nodes where cancer might spread) in people with early stomach cancer. The goal is to precisely remove only the affected lymph nodes during surgery, which might mean a less extensive operation and fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether a special green dye (indocyanine green) injected during minimally invasive stomach cancer surgery helps doctors remove more lymph nodes, which may improve treatment. It is for people with stomach adenocarcinoma that has not spread to distant organs.
This study tests a magnetic tracer call Magtrace to help find and remove the first lymph node (sentinel node) during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it works well for people having breast-conserving surgery.
This trial is testing whether a very small amount of a magnetic tracer called Magtrace can help find lymph nodes that need to be checked for cancer spread during breast cancer surgery.
This trial tests a new method using magnetic markers (Magtrace and Magseed) to find lymph nodes before chemotherapy. It may help doctors better target the lymph nodes that need to be removed during breast cancer surgery.
This trial studies the importance of checking lymph nodes in the fatty tissue around the stomach during stomach cancer surgery. It helps doctors understand if examining these specific areas can improve treatment decisions.
