Comparing two dyes for lymph node surgery in breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two dyes (ICG and blue patent) to see which is better for finding the first lymph node (sentinel node) during surgery in women with breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes and who had chemotherapy first.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes (cN+).
- You have already received chemotherapy (neoadjuvant treatment) before your surgery.
- You are not allergic to the dye called indocyanine green (ICG).
- Your cancer has not gotten worse after chemotherapy.

This trial tests if an injection of indocyanine green dye can help surgeons find and remove only the key lymph nodes in the armpit during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal.
This trial compares a new imaging method (ICG) to the standard method for manual lymphatic drainage during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce swelling in the arm after lymph node removal.
This trial tests using a green dye called ICG (indocyanine green) during breast cancer surgery to find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) that cancer may have spread to. It aims to help doctors locate these nodes more accurately, and is for people with early-stage breast cancer that has not yet spread to the lymph nodes.
This trial tests a new method to find and remove lymph nodes in the armpit after chemotherapy shrinks breast cancer. It uses a safe blue dye to help surgeons identify which nodes to remove, potentially reducing complications while ensuring thorough treatment.
This study tests whether a special dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help find sentinel lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery after chemotherapy. It may offer a safer and more effective way to check if cancer has spread.
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.
