Glow-in-the-Dark cancer detector aims to cut repeat breast surgeries
NCT ID NCT07616856
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a device called LumiSystem that helps surgeons see if any cancer cells are left behind during breast cancer surgery. About 1500 women having a lumpectomy will be included. The goal is to see if using this imaging tool reduces the number of patients who need a second surgery because cancer was left behind.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LumiSystem (imaging device and fluorescent imaging agent)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help surgeons remove more cancer during breast cancer surgery, reducing the need for repeat operations.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the device improves long-term outcomes. Results may vary across hospitals.
