Could new tracer spare breast cancer patients unnecessary surgery?

NCT ID NCT06868238

Summary

This study aimed to test a new iron-based tracer called Magtrace. The goal was to see if it could help patients with a very early form of breast cancer (DCIS) avoid having lymph nodes removed during their mastectomy surgery. If invasive cancer was later found in the breast tissue, the tracer would still be present, allowing doctors to perform the lymph node surgery later if truly needed.
