New fluorescent needle for finding breast lesions
Part of Cancer, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a special needle that glows to help surgeons find and remove high-risk breast lesions. If you've already had a breast lesion found by ductoscopy and a duct excision, you might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a breast lesion inside a milk duct using a tiny camera (ductoscopy).
- You have already had surgery to remove the affected duct (ductal excision).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have no known allergies to the needle's materials.
- You do not have active hepatitis B or C with a detectable virus level.

This trial tests a new glowing needle that helps doctors find and sample tiny abnormal areas in breast ducts during surgery. It aims to make the procedure more precise.
This study uses a blood test and a sample of nipple discharge to see if it can help doctors tell the difference between non-cancerous and cancerous conditions in the breast ducts. It aims to find a better way to diagnose intraductal disease without needing surgery right away.
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 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 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.
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.
