Radar reflectors could sharpen breast cancer surgery and cut repeat operations
NCT ID NCT07686250
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a device called SAVI Scout MD, which uses tiny radar reflectors placed in the breast before surgery to help surgeons locate and remove tumors more precisely. The goal is to see if this method leads to complete tumor removal with clear margins, potentially reducing the need for a second surgery. The trial involves adult women with breast cancer who need more than one localization marker for their surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SAVI Scout MD system (implantable radar reflector)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this radar-guided approach could make breast cancer surgery more precise, lowering the chance that patients need a second operation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study (37 participants) focused on surgical precision, not long-term outcomes. The device may not work as well in all patients or tumor types.
