Magnetic clip to mark tumors before chemotherapy for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests using a tiny magnetic clip to mark the tumor before chemotherapy for breast cancer. The goal is to help surgeons find and remove the tumor more accurately during breast-conserving surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You will receive chemotherapy before breast cancer surgery.
- You are scheduled for breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy).
- Your lymph node biopsy will use a magnetic tracer technique.
- You have signed a consent form to participate.

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 trial compares three different methods (ultrasound, wire, or magnetic seed) used during surgery to help doctors remove a breast tumor that can't be felt. The goal is to see which method works best for guiding the surgeon to remove the entire tumor while saving as much healthy breast tissue as possible.
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 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.
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.
