First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new handheld device that uses light and artificial intelligence to check for leftover cancer cells right after a breast lump is removed. The goal is to help surgeons remove all cancer in one go, avoiding a second surgery. About 104 women having breast-conserving surgery will take part, and the device's results will be compared to standard lab tests.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Spectra-BREAST system (hyperspectral imaging and Raman spectroscopy device)

What this could lead to

If successful, this device could help surgeons remove all cancer in one surgery, reducing the need for a second operation.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with only 104 participants. The device may not be accurate enough in real-world use, and results may not apply to all breast cancer types.
