Gentle touch may sharpen cancer detection during surgery
NCT ID NCT07269860
Summary
This study tested whether adding gentle osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) techniques to the standard breast massage could help special dyes and tracers flow better to lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery. Better flow helps surgeons more accurately find and test the 'sentinel' lymph nodes, which are the first places cancer might spread. Researchers compared the standard massage alone to a combination of OMM and massage in 27 women having breast-conserving surgery.
