Finding sentinel nodes during mastectomy with dye
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have early-stage breast cancer (DCIS or invasive T1-T3) that hasn't spread to lymph nodes yet.
- You have had an ultrasound of your armpit to confirm no lymph node spread.
- You are planning a mastectomy and will also have a sentinel lymph node procedure.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not allergic to indocyanine green, technetium, contrast dye, or iodine.
- You do not have another active cancer or thyroid disease.

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.
This trial uses a special dye called ICG that makes cancer glow under a special camera during breast cancer surgery. Doctors want to find the best time to give the dye so they can see the cancer clearly and remove all of it in one operation.
This trial looks at a minimally invasive surgery approach for people with colon adenocarcinoma that has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The team will use special mapping tests on the sentinel lymph node to better understand the cancer spread and help guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests if an injection of indocyanine green dye can help surgeons find and remove only the key lymph nodes in the armpit during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal.
This study tests whether a special dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help find sentinel lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery after chemotherapy. It may offer a safer and more effective way to check if cancer has spread.
This trial tests if a special dye called indocyanine green can help surgeons find sentinel lymph nodes during surgery for esophageal cancer. It may help doctors know which lymph nodes to remove for better staging.
