SENTINEL LYMPH NODE BIOPSY (SLNB)

This study is testing whether a less invasive lymph node surgery is as effective as the standard, more extensive surgery for women with early-stage, hormone-positive breast cancer that has spread to 1-2 lymph nodes. The goal is to reduce side effects like arm swelling and stiffne…

This study is testing a new method to find the first lymph node where breast cancer might spread. It uses a safe dye and a special camera during surgery, aiming to replace the current method that uses a radioactive tracer. The goal is to make the process easier for patients by av…

This study is testing whether a safe fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons find lymph nodes during mastectomy surgery for breast cancer. Researchers want to see if this dye works as well as the standard radioactive tracer method when surgeons use the sa…

This study is testing a new imaging technique to help surgeons see if breast cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes during surgery. Doctors apply a special fluorescent dye to the removed lymph node tissue and use a special camera to see if cancer cells are present. The goal is t…

This study is testing whether a less invasive lymph node procedure can safely replace more extensive surgery for certain inflammatory breast cancer patients. Researchers want to see if they can accurately identify the first lymph nodes where cancer might spread in patients who re…

This study is collecting information on a specific lymph node biopsy procedure used during breast cancer surgery. It involves 200 patients whose cancer has spread to a small number of underarm lymph nodes. The goal is to see how well this targeted procedure works and to track sid…
