One-Shot radiation during surgery could simplify breast cancer treatment
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study is testing a new approach where a single, precise dose of radiation is delivered directly to the tumor site during breast cancer surgery. It's for women aged 65 and older with early-stage breast cancer. The main goals are to see if this method is safe and to check if i…

First human trial aims to starve lung cancer cells
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early-stage trial is testing whether adding an existing drug called acetazolamide to standard radiation and chemotherapy can better control small cell lung cancer. The drug may work by targeting the cancer's energy supply and making the tumor environment less acidic, which c…

Targeted radiation boost aims to extend lung cancer control
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study is testing whether adding a precise, high-dose radiation treatment (called CyberKnife) after standard chemotherapy and radiation helps people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer live longer without their cancer getting worse. It will involve 42 patients who have a…

Cold meets compression: double defense against Chemo's numbness & pain
Symptom relief Recruiting nowThis study aims to see if a combination of cold therapy (cryotherapy) and compression (tight gloves/socks) works better than cold therapy alone to prevent nerve damage caused by a common breast cancer chemotherapy drug. It involves 60 women with non-metastatic breast cancer who w…

Scientists hunt for chemical fingerprint to catch deadly cancers earlier
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study aims to find a unique chemical pattern in the blood and urine of people with head and neck cancers. Researchers will analyze samples from 250 patients to see if this pattern can help detect cancer earlier, predict how it might behave, and spot if it returns after treat…

Scientists grow Mini-Tumors in lab to find better cancer drugs
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study aims to improve cancer treatment by creating better lab models for testing drugs. Researchers will collect small pieces of tumor from patients during their normal care. They will grow these samples into 3D clusters called 'spheroids' to test how different anti-cancer d…
