A tiny marker to guide breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a small marker (like a tiny tag) that your doctor places in the breast before surgery to help find and remove the tumor precisely. It is an alternative to using a wire, and the goal is to make surgery more accurate and less stressful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a single breast tumor (either DCIS or invasive cancer) that can be seen on ultrasound
- You are planning breast-conserving surgery or targeted lymph node removal
- You are not pregnant or nursing
- You don't have a pacemaker or similar device very close to where the marker will be placed
- You are not allergic to titanium or nickel

This study tests a magnetic marker system (placed in the breast or armpit area) to help surgeons find and remove a suspicious lump or lymph node. If you’re having breast/axillary lesion or node removal, this may help guide the procedure.
This study tests a special “marker” technique to help surgeons find affected lymph nodes in the armpit after chemotherapy. It may support more targeted surgery and help avoid unnecessary removal of healthy lymph nodes.
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.
This trial uses a tiny magnetic seed called Sirius Pintuition to help surgeons find and remove breast cancer that cannot be felt by hand. It may make surgery more precise and easier for you.
This trial tests a new ultrasound marker to help surgeons find and remove cancer-positive lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery. The marker makes the node easier to see on ultrasound so it can be taken out accurately.
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.
