Magseed Magnetic Marker in Locating Axillary Lymph Nodes in Patients With Breast Cancer Undergoing Surgery
Completed · Phase 4
Conditions studied: Breast Carcinoma Metastatic in Lymph Node, Stage II Breast Cancer AJCC v6 and v7, Stage IIA Breast Cancer AJCC v6 and v7, Stage IIB Breast Cancer AJCC v6 and v7, Stage IIIA Breast Cancer AJCC v7, Stage IIIB Breast Cancer AJCC v7
In brief
This phase IV trial studies the side effects of the Magseed magnetic marker and how well it works in locating lymph nodes in the underarm area in patients with breast cancer undergoing surgery. Injecting a small metallic marker in or near the lymph node prior to surgery may help the surgeon locate the lymph nodes during surgery without using radiation.
