Summary

This study tests whether a special fluorescent dye and imaging system can help surgeons see and remove all cancer during breast-conserving surgery. The goal is to reduce the chance that cancer cells are left behind, which often requires a second operation. About 175 women with breast cancer will take part. The trial is currently on hold.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pegulicianine (fluorescent dye) used with the Lumicell Direct Visualization System
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help surgeons remove all cancer in one operation, reducing the need for a second surgery and improving outcomes for breast cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This trial is currently suspended, and it is a relatively small, early-stage study focused on safety and feasibility. The technology may not work as hoped or may not reduce second surgeries significantly.
