Testing a new camera to find sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to find the sentinel lymph node (the first lymph node cancer might spread to) using a special augmented-reality camera and a dye called ICG. It's for women with breast cancer who are having surgery to check their lymph nodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer (confirmed by a biopsy).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for breast cancer surgery that includes checking the sentinel lymph node or removing lymph nodes.
- You are not pregnant.
- You have not had chemotherapy before this surgery.
- You have not had breast surgery on the same side before.
- You do not have an allergy to iodine, seafood, or the dye ICG (indocyanine green).

This study tests a new technique using a special camera and a dye to help surgeons find any remaining cancer in the armpit lymph nodes after standard removal surgery. It may help make sure all cancer is removed and reduce the need for more procedures.
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 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 (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 whether using special near-infrared imaging can help surgeons better guide lung tumor removal during minimally invasive or open chest surgery. It may improve how accurately the surgical area is identified during the operation.
