Checking tumor margins during breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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 trial tests a scanner that checks removed breast tissue during surgery to help surgeons remove all cancer the first time. If it works, fewer women may need a second operation.
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 imaging tool that helps surgeons see cancer margins in real time during a lumpectomy, aiming to reduce the need for a second surgery. It is for women with early-stage breast cancer who are planning a lumpectomy.
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 way to mark the area where breast cancer is removed during lumpectomy with oncoplastic reconstruction. The goal is to make follow-up radiation more precise and reduce the need for additional surgeries.
This study tests a new scanner that helps doctors see if all the breast cancer was removed during surgery, right there in the operating room. It may help reduce the chance of needing a second surgery.
