New seed method may sharpen breast cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT02759133
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two methods for marking non-palpable breast tumors before surgery: a tiny iodine seed versus a standard metal wire. 350 women with early-stage breast cancer took part. The goal was to see if the seed method leads to cleaner surgical margins, potentially reducing the need for repeat surgeries.
