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 special low-glucose, high-fat diet for 7 days before a PET scan can help doctors see a type of slow-growing lung cancer that often gets missed on standard scans. About 30 adults with suspected or confirmed lepidic-predominant lung adenocarcinoma …

This study tests a new, less invasive way to remove breast cancer through a single small cut in the armpit, avoiding a large scar on the breast. It includes 10 women with early-stage breast cancer who are getting a nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. T…

This study is testing a special nutrition supplement in 52 people with head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer who are receiving standard cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. The goal is to see if the supplement can reduce serious side effects and help patients stay on…

This study looks at whether a special set of care steps called an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol can help people recover faster after surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis (cancer that has spread in the abdomen). About 300 people will take part across 20 hospital…

This study follows 110 adults with head/neck, lung, or rectal cancer to track changes in their nutrition and body composition during standard treatment. Researchers measure daily food intake, muscle mass, and strength over time. The goal is to gather data that will help design a …

This study watches 100 people newly diagnosed with germ cell tumors (mostly testicular cancer) to see if a blood marker called miRNA371 can find active cancer cells that scans might miss. Researchers will collect blood samples and compare the marker's results with standard imagin…

This study is building a platform to better predict who is at risk for developing or having a recurrence of certain cancers, including breast, colon, ovarian, melanoma, and lung cancer. Researchers will analyze participants' blood and genetic information to find markers that coul…

This study is collecting stool and saliva samples from 2,500 people with colorectal cancer to look for genetic markers (microRNA) and bacterial patterns (microbiome) that could help doctors diagnose and predict the course of the disease. The goal is to create a detailed map of th…
