New study aims to improve breast cancer surgery precision

NCT ID NCT07185568

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares three techniques—ultrasound, wire, and magnetic seed—to help surgeons remove non-palpable breast tumors more accurately during breast-conserving surgery. About 1,300 adult women with early-stage breast cancer will be randomly assigned to one of the three methods. The goal is to see which technique results in fewer positive margins (cancer cells at the edge of removed tissue) and reduces the need for repeat surgery.
