Using a special scanner to check margins during breast surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a microscope-like scanner that helps surgeons see if all cancer cells have been removed during breast-conserving surgery. It may reduce the need for a second surgery by checking the removed tissue immediately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer through a needle biopsy.
- Your medical team has recommended breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy).
- You are planning to have surgery at the Silesian Hospital in Opava during the study.

This study tests a scanner (Histolog®) that checks the edges of removed breast tissue during surgery to make sure all cancer is removed. The goal is to reduce the need for a second surgery.
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 ways surgeons take “margin” samples (tissue from the edge of the tumor area) during breast-conserving surgery for early breast cancer. It uses a guidance device to help collect these samples and aims to see which approach better supports safe, effective treatment.
This trial tests a new high-resolution PET/CT scanner used during breast-conserving surgery to check if all cancer has been removed. It aims to reduce the need for repeat surgeries by giving surgeons real-time feedback on tumor margins.
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 trial is testing a new way to identify cancer tissue during breast surgery. It may help surgeons remove cancer more completely during a lumpectomy.
