Better breast biopsy marker retrieval in surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of breast biopsy markers to see which one is easier for surgeons to find and remove during surgery. It may help make your surgery more precise and reduce the chance of leaving marker behind.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a breast biopsy marker (clip) placed and you are scheduled for surgery using a SCOUT localization device
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You are not an inmate
- You speak English

This study tests a special “marker” technique to help surgeons find affected lymph nodes in the armpit after chemotherapy. It may support more targeted surgery and help avoid unnecessary removal of healthy lymph nodes.
This trial tests a small marker (like a tiny tag) that your doctor places in the breast before surgery to help find and remove the tumor precisely. It is an alternative to using a wire, and the goal is to make surgery more accurate and less stressful.
This study looks at whether a special ultrasound technique (called 'twinkling artifact') can make the marker clip show up better on ultrasound, helping doctors find the clip more easily during surgery. If you've had a clip placed, your stored ultrasound images might be used for this research.
This trial tests a device called OneMark that helps doctors find and track breast cancer during surgery and follow-up. It may help make sure the cancer is removed completely.
This study looks at the safety and usefulness of placing a marker at the biopsy site in women with invasive breast cancer before surgery. It may help ensure the right area is removed during surgery.
This trial tests a new ultrasound marker to help surgeons find and remove cancer-positive lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery. The marker makes the node easier to see on ultrasound so it can be taken out accurately.
