This study tests a personalized, stage-based treatment plan for people with rectal cancer that has not spread. The goal is to avoid removing the rectum when possible, using less invasive surgeries like laparoscopy or robotics to reduce physical and emotional side effects. About 2…

This study tests whether adding a special surgical glue (Progel Platinum) to the standard stapling method during lung cancer surgery can help patients recover faster. About 160 adults having keyhole surgery for non-small cell lung cancer will take part. The main goal is to see if…

This study tests whether eating a low-sugar, high-fat (ketogenic) diet for 7 days before a PET scan can improve detection of a slow-growing lung cancer called lepidic-predominant adenocarcinoma. About 30 adults with a suspicious lung nodule will follow the diet and then have a PE…

This study tests whether a special dietary supplement can reduce severe side effects from standard cancer treatments in people with head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer. About 52 participants will take the supplement during their treatment, and their results will be compared to …

This study is testing a new surgical technique for breast cancer that removes breast tissue through a single small cut in the armpit, avoiding a large scar on the breast. It involves 10 women with early-stage breast cancer who are eligible for nipple-sparing mastectomy and immedi…

This study is testing whether a special recovery plan helps patients with cancer that has spread to the abdominal lining get out of the hospital sooner after major surgery. About 300 patients at 20 Italian hospitals will follow either the usual recovery process or a new, structur…

This study is collecting stool and saliva samples from 2,500 people with colorectal cancer to look for genetic markers (microRNAs) and bacterial patterns. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and predict the course of the disease. Participants provide samples at key points…

This study looks at whether a substance in the blood called miRNA371 can show if testicular cancer is present or coming back. Researchers will collect blood samples and scans from 100 adults with newly diagnosed germ cell tumors. The goal is to see if this blood test can catch ca…

This study observes 110 adults with head/neck, lung, or rectal cancer to track changes in their nutrition and body composition during standard cancer treatments. Researchers measure daily food intake, muscle mass, and strength over time. The goal is to gather information that wil…

This study is building a platform to better understand a person's risk of developing cancer or having it come back. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 850 people with certain cancers to find genetic markers, immune system changes, and other biological clues. The goal is …
