Green light for breast cancer surgery: new dye may replace extra incisions

NCT ID NCT07362485

First seen Jan 26, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests if a safe green dye (indocyanine green) can help surgeons find cancer-spreading lymph nodes through the same cut used for mastectomy, avoiding a separate armpit incision. About 90 women with early breast cancer will receive the dye during surgery. The goal is to see if this method works as well as the standard radioactive tracer, making the procedure simpler and less invasive.
