Summary

This study tests a new handheld scanner that helps surgeons see cancer cells at the edges of removed breast tissue during surgery. Current methods can miss some cancer, leading to repeat operations. The scanner gives results in under five minutes. About 165 women with early-stage breast cancer will take part to see if the scanner is as accurate as standard lab tests.
