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

Summary

This study tested a new handheld gamma camera (CarolIReS) in 110 breast cancer patients to see if it could find sentinel lymph nodes that standard methods miss. The camera was used before and during surgery to guide removal and check if any nodes were left behind. The goal was to improve the accuracy of lymph node removal and reduce the chance of leftover cancer.
