Fluorescent dye camera test to spot breast surgery complications
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special dye and camera during breast surgery can help doctors find complications early. It may help improve safety after breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy with implant reconstruction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be having breast surgery with either oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction
- Undergo surgery where the surgical team uses a dye-based imaging check during the procedure
- Be able to receive the iodine-containing dye used for the scan
- Not have an iodine allergy
- Not have known thyroid disease

This study tests whether a special dye called ICG can help doctors predict skin healing problems after mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. If successful, it could help prevent skin loss and improve recovery.
This trial uses a special dye called ICG that makes cancer glow under a special camera during breast cancer surgery. Doctors want to find the best time to give the dye so they can see the cancer clearly and remove all of it in one operation.
This trial tests a new imaging system that helps surgeons see if cancer cells remain after breast-conserving surgery. It may reduce the need for a second surgery by giving real-time feedback on the removed tissue.
This study tests a new technique using a special camera and a dye to help surgeons find any remaining cancer in the armpit lymph nodes after standard removal surgery. It may help make sure all cancer is removed and reduce the need for more procedures.
This study tests a special dye that helps surgeons see breast cancer tissue and nearby lymph nodes more clearly during surgery. The goal is to make sure all cancer is removed while sparing healthy tissue.
This study tests using a special fluorescent dye (ICG) during surgery to help surgeons see and remove colon cancer more clearly. The dye highlights blood vessels and tissue, which may help ensure all cancer is removed safely.
