Ultrasound to Check Lymph Nodes During Gynecological Cancer Surgery
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman and have been diagnosed with ovarian, endometrial, cervical, or vulvar cancer.
- You are between 18 and 99 years old.

- You have not had any other cancer in the last 5 years.
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation treatments before.
- You are willing to join the study and sign a consent form.

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.
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 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 study uses a special type of ultrasound (UHFUS) to take detailed images of your lymph nodes before and during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to better understand normal lymph node anatomy, which may help prevent lymphedema (swelling) after surgery.
This early-phase study tests a 3D ultrasound scan to see lymph nodes in people being evaluated for breast cancer. It may help doctors better image lymph nodes during routine care.
This study uses ultrasound to monitor a small clip placed in a lymph node affected by breast cancer to see how well it responds to chemotherapy before surgery. It might help predict if the cancer is gone from the lymph nodes without needing extra surgery.
