Green dye could replace extra incisions in breast cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT07362485

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

Summary

This study tests if a safe green dye (indocyanine green) can help surgeons find lymph nodes that might contain cancer during a mastectomy, without needing a separate cut under the arm. About 90 women with early-stage breast cancer will receive the dye and a standard radioactive tracer. The goal is to see if the dye alone can accurately identify the key lymph nodes, potentially simplifying the procedure and reducing side effects.
