Marker-assisted breast surgery for hard-to-feel tumors
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a small implantable “marker” system (used to help doctors find the tumor or lymph node during breast surgery) for people with breast or lymph node areas that can’t be felt. It may help surgery planning and accuracy when the cancer can’t be easily located by touch.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a breast tumor or nearby lymph node that can’t be felt by hand
- You are scheduled to have breast surgery at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO)
- You are a female age 18 to 90
- Your planned treatment is breast-conserving surgery (not mastectomy)
- You can follow all study visits and stay available for follow-up the whole time

This trial studies a new method (SAVI Scout) to help surgeons locate and remove breast tumors more precisely during surgery. It may reduce the need for multiple markers and improve outcomes.
This trial compares two techniques for finding breast tumors that cannot be felt by hand after initial (neoadjuvant) treatment. If successful, it may make breast-conserving surgery more accurate when the tumor has become “non-palpable.”
This trial compares two techniques for pinpointing non-touchable breast cancer during breast-conserving surgery. The study aims to see which method is more accurate and whether it leads to better surgical outcomes.
This study uses a tiny magnetic marker (called Magseed) placed in a breast cancer–affected underarm lymph node, then tracks whether surgeons can find and remove the correct nodes after chemotherapy. It may help reduce the chance of missing cancer in the underarm while aiming for more accurate surgery.
This study tests a magnetic marker system (placed in the breast or armpit area) to help surgeons find and remove a suspicious lump or lymph node. If you’re having breast/axillary lesion or node removal, this may help guide the procedure.
This trial looks at different methods doctors can use to locate a breast lesion using imaging, so it can be removed accurately during breast-conserving surgery. It may help your care team choose the best localization approach for your type and location of lesion.
