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 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

This trial compares two ways to take a sample from swollen lymph nodes in the chest to see if they are caused by tuberculosis. One method uses a needle and the other uses a special probe to freeze a piece of tissue, which may give a more accurate answer. If you have these swollen nodes and TB is suspected, the trial could help diagnose you more precisely.
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 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 study tests a more precise way to check if breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm using an ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy. It aims to improve accuracy compared to standard checks, which could help guide treatment decisions.
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.
