Comparing two ways to check tumor removal during breast-conserving surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of checking during surgery to make sure all the cancer is removed: a new microscopic imaging technique versus the standard frozen section method. If you are having breast-conserving surgery, this may help ensure clear margins and reduce the need for a second surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have one breast tumor that has not spread to other parts of the body.
- The cancer has not reached your skin, chest muscle, or nipple area.
- You are willing to have breast-conserving surgery (removing just the tumor).
- You are able to have general anesthesia and surgery, with no serious health problems.
- You are not participating in other research studies that could affect this trial.

This trial tests a new imaging system that helps surgeons see if cancer cells remain after breast-conserving surgery. It may reduce the need for a second surgery by giving real-time feedback on the removed tissue.
This study compares two surgical techniques for removing early-stage breast cancer while preserving the breast. It aims to see which approach gives better cosmetic results and cancer control.
This study tests a new imaging tool that helps surgeons see if any cancer cells are left behind during a lumpectomy. It may reduce the need for a second surgery.
This study compares two types of breast-conserving surgery for women who have already had chemotherapy before their operation. It aims to see if using a tiny camera (endoscope) leads to equally good long-term results as standard breast-conserving surgery.
This trial compares two ways of checking whether all oral cancer tissue was removed during surgery by looking at the tissue edges. It may help surgeons choose the safest approach to reduce the chance of cancer coming back.
This trial tests a new laser scanner that helps doctors see if all cancer cells are removed during breast-conserving surgery, which might reduce the need for a second operation.
