Rapid margin check during breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new imaging method to help doctors see if any cancer cells are left at the edges of removed tissue during breast cancer surgery. It may reduce the need for follow-up surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer that can be removed with surgery.
- You are healthy enough for surgery (no serious heart or lung problems, no bleeding issues).
- You can understand and sign a consent form.

This trial uses a special probe that lights up cancer cells to quickly check if breast cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It may help doctors decide how much surgery is needed.
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 technology that helps doctors examine cells during surgery for early-stage breast cancer. It may help make the sentinel lymph node biopsy more accurate.
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 study tests a new device that uses augmented reality and a special dye to help surgeons find the sentinel lymph node (the first node that cancer might spread to) during breast cancer surgery. It may help make the node removal more precise and reduce unnecessary removal.
This study tests a new method to check for leftover cancer cells and lymph node spread during breast surgery. It may help doctors make sure all cancer is removed the first time.
