SENTINEL LYMPH NODE BIOPSY (SLNB)

This study aims to see if a less invasive surgery, called targeted axillary dissection (TAD), can safely replace full axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in women with early-stage luminal breast cancer that has spread to only 1 or 2 lymph nodes. Participants will have a marker …

This study tests a special dye that makes cancer cells glow in lymph nodes removed during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to quickly tell if the cancer has spread, so surgeons can remove only the affected nodes and avoid extra surgery that can cause swelling and other problems…

This study tests if a safe green dye (ICG) can help surgeons find cancer-spreading lymph nodes through the same cut used for mastectomy, avoiding a second incision. About 90 women with breast cancer will receive the dye during surgery. The goal is to see if this method works as w…

This study tests a new way to find the first lymph node where breast cancer might spread. Instead of using a radioactive tracer, doctors use a green dye and a special camera during surgery. The goal is to make the procedure safer, easier, and more available in hospitals across th…

This study looks at whether a blue dye injected into the ovary can help find the first lymph node where cancer might spread in early ovarian cancer. Currently, standard surgery removes many lymph nodes, which can cause side effects. By checking only the dyed node, doctors hope to…

This study is an audit of a surgical technique called targeted sentinel node biopsy (TSNB) for breast cancer patients whose cancer has spread to a few lymph nodes in the armpit. The goal is to see if this less invasive approach works as well as standard surgery, while causing les…

This study looks at whether a less invasive procedure called sentinel lymph node biopsy can be safely used after chemotherapy in people with inflammatory breast cancer. Normally, these patients need more extensive surgery because their cancer is advanced. The study will enroll 75…
