New ways to assess lymph nodes in cancer patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares three methods (LN-RADS, RECIST 1.1, and Node-RADS) to see which best evaluates lymph nodes in people with cancer. It may help doctors make more accurate decisions about your lymph nodes using CT or MRI scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with cancer or your doctor suspects you may have cancer.
- You are scheduled for a biopsy or surgery to remove lymph nodes, or you already have plans for such a procedure.
- You have had or will have a CT or MRI scan that includes the area where your lymph nodes are located.
- Your cancer diagnosis has been confirmed by a tissue sample (biopsy) or cell sample.
- You agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form.

This trial looks at how much the lymph nodes respond to chemoradiation before surgery in people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to understand if that response can predict long-term results and guide future treatment choices.
This trial studies a better way to remove and examine lymph nodes from lung cancer surgery specimens. It aims to improve how doctors check for cancer spread, which may help guide your treatment after surgery.
This study uses a special MRI scanner in the operating room to help guide lymph node removal during surgery for urologic cancers like bladder, prostate, testicular, kidney, urethral, or penile cancer. It aims to see if this real-time imaging can make the surgery more precise.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the lymph nodes under the arm in people with newly diagnosed breast cancer. It aims to better understand what these images show before surgery, which may help guide treatment decisions.
This study looks back at past MRI scans and lymph node biopsies or surgeries in people with breast cancer to better understand how cancer spreads to the lymph nodes. If you had these tests as part of your care, your data might help improve future treatment decisions.
This study uses a blood test and imaging to predict whether breast cancer has spread to underarm lymph nodes, helping guide surgery. It may reduce unnecessary lymph node removal.
