SENTINEL LYMPH NODE

This trial is testing a less invasive surgery for people with early-stage colon cancer. It aims to remove just the tumor area and a few key lymph nodes, instead of a large section of the colon, to reduce complications and recovery time. The goal is to see if this organ-sparing ap…

This study is testing whether it's safe to skip additional armpit surgery or radiation for certain breast cancer patients. It focuses on people whose initial cancer had spread to armpit lymph nodes but who show no remaining cancer there after chemotherapy. The main goal is to see…

This study is for people with breast cancer that has spread to underarm lymph nodes, even after receiving chemotherapy or hormone therapy before surgery. It aims to find out if treating these lymph nodes with radiation is as good at controlling cancer as surgery, but with less ri…

This study is testing whether a safe fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons find lymph nodes during mastectomy surgery for breast cancer. Researchers want to see if this dye works as well as the standard radioactive tracer method when surgeons use the sa…

This study is testing a new imaging technique to help surgeons see if breast cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes during surgery. Doctors apply a special fluorescent dye to the removed lymph node tissue and use a special camera to see if cancer cells are present. The goal is t…

This study is testing a new imaging technique to help surgeons see cancer spread more clearly during lung surgery. Doctors inject a safe, fluorescent dye near the tumor and use a special camera to make the first lymph nodes that drain from the tumor glow. The goal is to see if th…

This study is testing a new method to check if breast cancer has spread to lymph nodes after chemotherapy. Researchers will mark a cancerous lymph node before treatment, then remove it along with a few others after chemotherapy to see if this smaller procedure is as accurate as r…

This study is for women with early-stage endometrial (uterine) cancer. It compares two surgical approaches after removing the uterus: one uses a dye to find and check just one or two 'sentinel' lymph nodes, while the other skips checking lymph nodes altogether. The main goals are…

This study aims to help hospitals switch to a new method for finding the first lymph node where breast cancer might spread. The new method uses a safe green dye and a special camera during surgery, instead of a radioactive tracer that requires an extra hospital visit. Researchers…

This study is testing if doctors can accurately find and test the first lymph nodes that drain from an inflammatory breast cancer tumor using a special imaging scan and dye. Researchers want to see if this less invasive procedure works for this aggressive cancer type, as it could…
