Finding lymph nodes with a tiny dose of magnetic tracer in breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a very small amount of a magnetic tracer called Magtrace can help find lymph nodes that need to be checked for cancer spread during breast cancer surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new method using magnetic markers (Magtrace and Magseed) to find lymph nodes before chemotherapy. It may help doctors better target the lymph nodes that need to be removed during breast cancer surgery.
This study tests a magnetic tracer call Magtrace to help find and remove the first lymph node (sentinel node) during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it works well for people having breast-conserving surgery.
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 tests a way to check lymph nodes in the armpit using a special green dye. It is for people with breast cancer who need to know if their cancer has spread to these nodes.
This trial tests if a special dye (indocyanine green) can find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) during mastectomy. It may help improve staging for women with early breast cancer who need or choose mastectomy.
