Gentle lymph node check for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older with breast cancer.
- You are scheduled for a sentinel lymph node biopsy (a small sample of lymph nodes).
- Your lymph nodes show no sign of cancer (N0) or have responded well to targeted armpit treatment.

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 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 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.
This trial tests a new way for surgeons to find leftover cancer cells in the lymph nodes after they have been removed during breast cancer surgery. It uses a special dye and augmented reality to help make sure no cancer is missed.
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.
