Magtrace dye to guide surgery for early breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests using a special dye called Magtrace to help surgeons find and remove the cancer and check nearby lymph nodes during breast-conserving surgery. It might help make the surgery more precise and avoid extra procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy), not removal of the whole breast.
- You need a sentinel lymph node biopsy to check if cancer has spread to your lymph nodes.
- You are able to have radiation therapy after surgery.
- You do not have metastatic breast cancer that requires palliative surgery.
- You have no allergy to Magtrace.

This study tests a magnetic tracer call Magtrace to help find and remove the first lymph node (sentinel node) during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it works well for people having breast-conserving surgery.
This trial is testing whether a very small amount of a magnetic tracer called Magtrace can help find lymph nodes that need to be checked for cancer spread during breast cancer surgery.
This trial tests a new method using magnetic markers (Magtrace and Magseed) to find lymph nodes before chemotherapy. It may help doctors better target the lymph nodes that need to be removed during breast cancer surgery.
This study tests a special “marker” technique to help surgeons find affected lymph nodes in the armpit after chemotherapy. It may support more targeted surgery and help avoid unnecessary removal of healthy lymph nodes.
This study uses a tiny magnetic marker (called Magseed) placed in a breast cancer–affected underarm lymph node, then tracks whether surgeons can find and remove the correct nodes after chemotherapy. It may help reduce the chance of missing cancer in the underarm while aiming for more accurate surgery.
This study tests a magnetic marker system (placed in the breast or armpit area) to help surgeons find and remove a suspicious lump or lymph node. If you’re having breast/axillary lesion or node removal, this may help guide the procedure.
