First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will test a device called LumiSystem that helps surgeons see if any cancer cells are left behind during breast cancer surgery. About 1500 women having a lumpectomy will be included. The goal is to see if using this imaging tool reduces the number of patients who need a second surgery because cancer was left behind.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help surgeons remove more cancer during breast cancer surgery, reducing the need for repeat operations.
