Light-guided re-surgery for recurrent breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- Your breast cancer has come back in the same breast or nearby tissue as before (not spread to other parts of the body).
- You have had previous surgery on the lymph nodes under your arm on the same side.
- You are healthy enough to get out of bed and perform daily activities (ECOG 0 or 1).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 a new way to find the sentinel lymph node (the first lymph node cancer might spread to) using a special augmented-reality camera and a dye called ICG. It's for women with breast cancer who are having surgery to check their lymph nodes.
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 a new technique using a special camera and a dye to help surgeons find any remaining cancer in the armpit lymph nodes after standard removal surgery. It may help make sure all cancer is removed and reduce the need for more procedures.
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.
