Ultrasound-guided biopsy for pelvic masses
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy (Tru-Cut) can safely collect tissue samples from pelvic masses. It may help doctors confirm diagnoses and guide treatment by improving how biopsies are done in real-world care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your pelvic mass must be reachable and safely biopsied with ultrasound (not blocked by organs or blood vessels).
- The mass should have a solid part; purely fluid-only (pure cyst) lesions are not eligible.
- You need a biopsy as part of routine care or to participate in another treatment study that requires tissue testing.
- If this is for diagnosis or recurrence, your imaging suggests cancer spread or return of cancer, and tissue proof is needed before treatment.
- You must be able to have the biopsy safely—no bleeding disorder, and no blood-thinning medicine that can’t be adjusted.
- No active vaginal or pelvic infection, and your general health must allow cancer treatment.

This trial drains fluid-filled cysts in the pelvis (like ovarian cysts or abscesses) through the vagina using an ultrasound to guide the needle. It aims to relieve pain and symptoms, especially when surgery or cure isn't an option.
This trial checks if an ultrasound-guided tru-cut biopsy (a small needle sample) is safe and accurate in people with suspected advanced ovarian cancer. It may help avoid more invasive surgery to get a diagnosis.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to get better images of ovarian growths before surgery. The goal is to improve detection and help plan the best treatment.
This trial tests a new way to take a small sample of the womb lining (biopsy) using a thin, flexible tube guided by ultrasound. The goal is to see if ultrasound guidance makes the biopsy more accurate and comfortable in people with post-menopausal bleeding.
This study tests whether a transvaginal ultrasound can be used as a screening tool for ovarian cancer in women at higher risk. It may help find ovarian cancer earlier in people who have a strong family or personal cancer history.
This study uses special PET scans to better see and understand pelvic tumors. It may help doctors plan treatment more accurately. You may be able to join if you have a pelvic tumor and can have surgery or a biopsy.
