LYMPH NODE METASTASIS

This study tests a procedure called irreversible electroporation (IRE) for thyroid cancer that has come back in neck lymph nodes after surgery. IRE uses short, strong electric pulses to destroy cancer cells without cutting. About 85 adults will receive one or two IRE treatments a…

This study compares three methods for reading CT and MRI scans to find cancer in lymph nodes. The new method, called LN-RADS, may detect small metastases that older methods miss. About 1000 adults with known or suspected cancer will take part, and their scan results will be check…

This study looks at whether a blood test can find tiny bits of tumor DNA left after breast cancer surgery. It includes 100 women with early-stage breast cancer that spread to 1-3 lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this test can help predict which patients are more likely to have …

This study tests a new, standardized method for pathologists to find lymph nodes in lung tissue removed during surgery. The goal is to see if this technique finds more lymph nodes and catches cancer spread that standard methods might miss. About 160 adults having lung cancer surg…

This study looks at whether regular groin ultrasounds can safely replace surgery to check for cancer spread in women with early-stage vulvar cancer. Thirty women will be randomly assigned to either have surgery (sentinel node biopsy or full lymph node removal) or get high-resolut…
