Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims for evaluating near infrared zone II imaging in sentinel lymph node mapping in breast cancer patients.

Description:

Multi-wavelength fluorescence has been surveyed in various fields of surgery. However, it was still under investigation, and has not been matured for clinical use. This study will evaluate near infrared zone II spectrums for breast cancer patient undergoing sentinel lymph node mapping with near-infrared fluorescence navigation.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Recruiting
• Enrollment: 30
• Est. completion date: April 7, 2023
• Est. primary completion date: April 7, 2023
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: All
• Age group: 20 Years and older

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Breast cancer, adults

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient aged < 20 years old

• Primary lesion without indication of sentinel lymph node biopsy in current guidelines (Low-risk ductal carcinoma in situ or metastatic breast cancer)

• Patient who is allergic to primary tracers (including Tc99m and blue dye)

• Patient who is allergic to indocyanine green

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Breast Cancer
• Breast Neoplasms
• Sentinel Lymph Node

Intervention

Procedure:
• Near infrared fluorescence navigated sentinel lymph node mapping
Participants undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer, and use blue dye/Tc99m radioisotope as primary tracer. Indocyanine green near infrared fluorescence as secondary tracer for mapping.
