New scanner aims to cut repeat breast cancer surgeries
NCT ID NCT07352930
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests a new device called the EndoSCell Scanner, which uses fluorescence imaging to help surgeons see if any cancer cells remain after removing a breast tumor. About 172 women with breast cancer will have their surgical cavity scanned during surgery. If the scanner detects possible leftover cancer, the surgeon can remove more tissue right away. The goal is to lower the chance of needing a second surgery to clear remaining cancer.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EndoSCell Scanner (ES Scanner) device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could help surgeons remove all cancer cells during breast-conserving surgery, reducing the need for a second operation.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with only 172 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The device's accuracy in detecting cancer cells is still being tested.
