Quick test for breast cancer spread to lymph nodes using a new probe
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have a breast lump or mass that doctors think can be removed with surgery
- You are scheduled for a sentinel lymph node biopsy or removal of lymph nodes under the arm
- You are healthy enough for surgery
- You can understand and agree to join the study

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 for surgeons to find leftover cancer cells in the lymph nodes after they have been removed during breast cancer surgery. It uses a special dye and augmented reality to help make sure no cancer is missed.
This trial uses a special light and dye to help surgeons find and remove lymph nodes that might contain cancer cells, in women whose breast cancer has come back in the same area after previous surgery.
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 trial tests if a special dye (indocyanine green) can find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) during mastectomy. It may help improve staging for women with early breast cancer who need or choose mastectomy.
This trial tests using a green dye called ICG (indocyanine green) during breast cancer surgery to find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) that cancer may have spread to. It aims to help doctors locate these nodes more accurately, and is for people with early-stage breast cancer that has not yet spread to the lymph nodes.
