NCT ID NCT07311278
First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study tests a new method using a fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) to find sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer patients. The current method uses a radioactive tracer that has limited availability and exposes patients to radiation. About 493 women with early-stage breast cancer will take part to see if ICG works just as well. If successful, this could make the procedure safer and more widely available.
