Green breast surgery study
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares a new 'green' breast surgery approach (which reduces waste and uses ultrasound guidance) to standard surgery. It aims to see if the green method is as safe and effective, while also improving quality of life and lowering environmental impact.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) to remove just the tumor and keep your breast.
- You are in good overall health (ASA score 1 or 2).
- You are willing to use video calls or online check-ins for follow-up care.
- You do not have a current drug addiction.
- You do not have any condition that would prevent a needle-guided ultrasound (like an infection or allergy to local anesthesia).
- You are not being treated for chronic pain, and you are not pregnant.

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 a technique where doctors use a special dye (ICG) to guide breast-conserving surgery in patients whose tumors have shrunk enough after chemotherapy. The goal is to remove only the cancer while saving as much healthy breast tissue as possible.
This trial tests whether women with certain aggressive breast cancers (HER2-positive without hormone receptors, or triple-negative) can safely skip breast surgery if chemotherapy makes their tumor completely disappear. The goal is to avoid surgery and its side effects when it may no longer be needed.
This study looks at how well breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) works for women with breast cancer or other breast conditions. It will track how you feel, how you look, and your overall satisfaction to help improve future care.
This trial uses a special light and dye to help surgeons find and remove lymph nodes that might contain cancer cells, in women whose breast cancer has come back in the same area after previous surgery.
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.
