Rapid testing during lymph node biopsy for breast cancer

This study tests a special dye that helps surgeons see breast cancer tissue and nearby lymph nodes more clearly during surgery. The goal is to make sure all cancer is removed while sparing healthy tissue.

This study uses a blood test and imaging to predict whether breast cancer has spread to underarm lymph nodes, helping guide surgery. It may reduce unnecessary lymph node removal.

This study looks at whether some breast cancer patients can safely skip a surgery that removes lymph nodes in the armpit after their initial (pre-surgery) treatment shows the armpit is likely clear. It may reduce surgical side effects if the armpit truly responds well.

This study tests a new way to remove breast tissue using a single-port robot through a small incision, with immediate reconstruction of the breast. It may be an option for women with early-stage breast cancer who want to keep their breast shape after surgery.

This study is checking a new way to find and remove lymph nodes that may contain cancer when there are only one or two affected nodes. The goal is to see if this method works well and to help guide further treatment.

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.
