SENTINEL LYMPH NODE BIOPSY (SLNB)

This study is for women with early-stage luminal breast cancer that has spread to 1 or 2 lymph nodes. Instead of removing many lymph nodes from the armpit, surgeons will remove only the marked suspicious node and the sentinel nodes. If fewer than 3 nodes are positive, full lymph …

This study tests if a safe green dye (indocyanine green) can help surgeons find lymph nodes that might contain cancer during a mastectomy, without needing a separate cut under the arm. About 90 women with early-stage breast cancer will receive the dye and a standard radioactive t…

This study tests a special dye that makes cancer cells glow when applied to lymph nodes removed during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to help surgeons instantly tell if a sentinel lymph node contains cancer, so they only remove the nodes that are truly affected. The trial wil…

This study aims to help Dutch hospitals switch from using a radioactive tracer to a green dye called indocyanine green (ICG) to find the first lymph node that breast cancer may spread to. The dye is given during surgery, avoids radiation, and requires no extra hospital visits. Re…

This study is auditing a surgical technique called Targeted Sentinel Node Biopsy (TSNB) for breast cancer patients who have a small number of cancer cells in their lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this less invasive procedure can accurately identify cancer spread while causing …

This study looks at whether a blue dye injected into the ovary can help doctors find the first lymph node where cancer might spread, instead of removing many lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this less invasive method works as well as standard surgery for early-stage ovarian can…

This study looks at whether a less invasive procedure called sentinel lymph node biopsy can be safely used after chemotherapy in people with inflammatory breast cancer. Traditionally, these patients need more extensive surgery because the cancer is advanced. The study will check …
