Super-Resolution Ultrasound to Tell Benign from Malignant Lymph Nodes
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses a special high-detail ultrasound technique to better tell if lymph nodes are harmless (benign) or cancerous (malignant). It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies or surgeries in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have lymph nodes that look abnormal on an ultrasound
- You are scheduled for a biopsy or surgery to check those lymph nodes
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation therapy before
- You are not allergic to eggs, milk, or ultrasound contrast agents
- You do not have a serious heart or lung condition

This study uses ultrasound images to help tell the difference between benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) liver tumors without needing a needle biopsy. If you are 18–70, have a liver tumor visible on ultrasound, and are planning a biopsy or surgery to confirm the diagnosis, you may be able to join.
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 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 trial tests whether a special ultrasound test using “microbubbles” can help doctors find lymph nodes that may contain cancer in people with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. If the test finds suspicious nodes, it may guide where to do a biopsy during planned neck surgery.
This study tests a new type of ultrasound imaging called super-resolution ultrasound that creates very detailed pictures of breast cancer. Researchers will use it to track how well chemotherapy is working before surgery, which may help doctors plan better treatment.
This study uses multiple ultrasound methods to check the lymph nodes under the arm in people newly diagnosed with breast cancer. It aims to better understand the spread of cancer before surgery.
