All recruiting trials (9)

• Using Patent Blue to map sentinel lymph nodes in early ovarian cancer

  This study will try injecting Patent Blue dye into the ovarian ligaments during surgery for people with early-stage ovarian cancer to find the first draining lymph nodes and see if that can stage disease accurately while avoiding full lymph node removal.

  Recruiting Faculty of Medicine of Tunis · La Rabta · NCT07508306

• Using indocyanine green to find sentinel lymph nodes during mastectomy

  This pilot will test whether injecting indocyanine green and using fluorescence during mastectomy can find sentinel lymph nodes in women with clinically node-negative invasive breast cancer.

  Recruiting at 2 sites St. Antonius Hospital · Zwolle, Overijssel and 1 other locations · NCT07362485

• Targeted removal of a marked lymph node for early hormone-receptor positive breast cancer with limited node spread

  This trial tests whether removing the pre-marked suspicious lymph node along with the sentinel lymph node during initial surgery lets people with early ER+/PR+ HER2‑ breast cancer and 1–2 suspicious nodes avoid a full axillary lymph node dissection.

  Recruiting at 5 sites European Institute of Oncology · Bologna, Italy and 13 other locations · NCT07278726

• Fast detection of cancer in sentinel lymph nodes using a new NIR-II fluorescent probe.

  This test applies a new near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescent probe to freshly removed sentinel lymph nodes to quickly tell adults with breast cancer whether the cancer has spread there.

  Recruiting Yunnan Cancer Hospital · Kunming, Yunnan · NCT07154563

• Using indocyanine green to identify sentinel lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery

  This project tests whether indocyanine green dye and a fluorescence camera can be used instead of the radioactive tracer to find sentinel lymph nodes in adults having breast cancer surgery who are clinically node-negative.

  Recruiting at 7 sites St. Antonius Hospital · Alkmaar and 6 other locations · NCT07146295

• Targeted sentinel node biopsy for breast cancer patients with limited axillary nodal disease

  This audit will test if removing the marked node along with the sentinel nodes can identify people with only 1–2 positive axillary nodes so some can avoid a full axillary dissection, for adults with cT1-2 breast cancer and biopsy-proven axillary metastases with no more than two abnormal nodes on imaging.

  Recruiting at 14 sites University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust · Burnley and 13 other locations · NCT07085442

• Sentinel lymph node biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for inflammatory breast cancer

  This trial will test whether sentinel lymph node biopsy after preoperative chemotherapy is feasible and safe for people with inflammatory breast cancer who initially had extensive lymph node involvement.

  Recruiting European Institute of Oncology · Milan · NCT07080944

• Using photo-medicine to guide reoperation for lymph nodes in recurrent breast cancer

  This study is testing a new method using light to help doctors find lymph nodes during surgery for women with recurrent breast cancer to see if it improves treatment planning.

  Recruiting Phase 2 National Cancer Center, Korea · Goyang-si · NCT06780748

• Comparing two surgical approaches for early mouth cancers

  This study is testing whether a less invasive surgery for early mouth cancers can provide similar survival rates while being easier on patients and more affordable than the standard approach.

  Recruiting Tata Memorial Hospital · Mumbai, Maharashtra and 2 other locations · NCT05774483

Where are these trials running?

In 8 countries. The most sites are in Netherlands (2 trials), Italy (2 trials), Tunisia (1 trial), China (1 trial), South Korea (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.

What phases are they in?

Phase 2: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.

How do I join one?

Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
