Robotic ultrasound to check lymph nodes during gynecologic cancer surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new robotic ultrasound tool to see if it can better find cancer in lymph nodes during surgery. It may help doctors decide exactly which nodes to remove, avoiding unnecessary surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman having robotic surgery for ovarian, endometrial, or cervical cancer.
- Your surgeon plans to remove lymph nodes for staging or to reduce tumor burden.
- You are between 18 and 99 years old.
- You do not have any other lymphatic disease (like lymphoma) right now.
- You have not had any other cancer in the last 5 years.
- You are willing to join the study and sign a consent form.

This study uses a special ultrasound probe during surgery to check lymph nodes for cancer. It aims to see if this tool can help doctors make better decisions during your gynecological cancer surgery without needing extra tests.
This study tests a new way to check lymph nodes under a microscope during surgery for gynecologic cancers. It may help doctors know if cancer has spread without waiting for lab results.
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 trial tests whether using ultrasound of the groin can help find cancer spread in the lymph nodes of women with early-stage vulvar cancer. The goal is to see if ultrasound can replace or reduce the need for more invasive surgery.
This trial is testing a newer, single-port robotic system (da Vinci SP) for staging surgery in endometrial cancer. It aims to see if this system is safe and effective for removing the uterus, ovaries, and possibly lymph nodes, with less scarring.
This trial compares two ways of removing lymph nodes (small glands that help fight infection) during robotic surgery for mid or low rectal cancer. It aims to see whether removing fewer lymph nodes may be just as effective and cause fewer side effects than removing a larger group of them.
