Glowing dye could replace radioactive method for finding hidden breast cancers

NCT ID NCT03313908

Summary

This study tested a new method to help surgeons locate small, hidden breast tumors during surgery. Ten women with non-palpable breast cancer received both a new fluorescent dye injection and the standard radioactive marker before surgery. Researchers compared how well the glowing dye worked against the current radioactive method to see if it could be a simpler, more comfortable alternative for patients.
