This study checks whether a blood liquid biopsy test can detect when stomach cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal metastasis). It compares people with confirmed belly spread to people whose belly lining tests were negative, using blood samples before/around treatment decisions.
This study tests whether special ultrasound pictures and “spectroscopy” measurements can help characterize breast masses that may be cancer. It may help doctors tell more about what a lump is and guide next steps.
This trial compares laparoscopy (minimally invasive) and open surgery for treating colon cancer in people with extra belly fat around internal organs (visceral obesity). The goal is to see which approach gives better recovery and outcomes.
This trial tests if a portable ultrasound device can help quickly evaluate breast lumps found during a physical exam. It aims to improve screening in places where standard mammography may not be available.
This study checks how well the LUM Imaging System can detect cancers of the esophagus, colon, or pancreas during the time you are preparing for surgery. It’s mainly meant to see if the scan works safely and clearly for doctors to find cancer areas.
This study follows people who have had an upper endoscopy (a camera test through the mouth to look at the stomach) to monitor precancerous stomach changes. It may help doctors learn the best way to watch these spots over time and catch problems early.
