First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tests a special dye that makes cancer cells glow, helping surgeons quickly tell if a lymph node contains cancer during breast cancer surgery. About 60 adults with breast cancer will have their removed lymph nodes treated with the dye and then imaged. The goal is to see if this method can accurately identify cancer spread, which may reduce the need for removing many lymph nodes and lower side effects like arm swelling.
