Laser imaging during breast reconstruction surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial uses a special camera to monitor blood flow during breast reconstruction surgery. It may help doctors ensure the tissue stays healthy during the procedure.

Who can take part
- You are female and 18 years or older
- You are able to understand and agree to take part
- You are scheduled for breast reconstruction using your own tissue (free flap surgery), either right after mastectomy or later

This study tests a scanner (Histolog®) that checks the edges of removed breast tissue during surgery to make sure all cancer is removed. The goal is to reduce the need for a second surgery.
This trial tests a microscope-like scanner that helps surgeons see if all cancer cells have been removed during breast-conserving surgery. It may reduce the need for a second surgery by checking the removed tissue immediately.
This trial is testing a new way to identify cancer tissue during breast surgery. It may help surgeons remove cancer more completely during a lumpectomy.
This trial tests whether a special MRI and an injected light-activated dye (pHLIP® ICG) can help doctors see and target breast cancer during surgery. You may be offered this approach around the time of breast-conserving surgery, to improve how well the tumor area is identified.
This study tests a new imaging tool that helps surgeons see cancer margins in real time during a lumpectomy, aiming to reduce the need for a second surgery. It is for women with early-stage breast cancer who are planning a lumpectomy.
This trial looks at different methods doctors can use to locate a breast lesion using imaging, so it can be removed accurately during breast-conserving surgery. It may help your care team choose the best localization approach for your type and location of lesion.
