Delayed Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Ductal Cancer in Situ

Description

The trial aims to investigate the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles as a tracer for delayed sentinel lymph node dissection (d-SLND) in patients where upfront axillary surgery (SLND) is oncologically deemed unnecessary and should be avoided. This includes but is not limited to patients with a preoperative diagnosis of ductal cancer in situ of the breast (DCIS), an unclear BIRADS 4-5 planned for diagnostic excision or women planned for risk reducing mastectomy. SPIO is injected in the primary operation, and should final specimen pathology demonstrate invasive breast cancer, only then is an operation in the axilla (d-SLND) performed.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of DCIS grade 3 any size or, DCIS grade 2 larger than or equal to 20 mm on mammography and planned for breast conserving surgery or
  • * Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of DCIS on core biopsy with a palpable mass on clinical examination or mass effect on radiology or
  • * Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of DCIS with suspicion of micro-invasion on core biopsy or
  • * Patients with a mammographic/ultrasound/MRI finding, suspicious for breast cancer (BIRADS 4 or 5) planned for diagnostic excision with breast conserving surgery, with no definitive diagnosis of invasive cancer or
  • * Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of DCIS, any grade, any size and planned for a complex oncoplastic procedure or
  • * Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of DCIS, any grade, any size and planned for a procedure that may compromise detection rate for a future SLND, such as, but not confined to: lesions in the upper outer quadrant or the axillary tail, removal of the nipple areola complex and so on or
  • * The above mentioned categories with a preoperative diagnosis of pleomorphic Lobular Cancer in Situ (pLCIS), classic Lobular Neoplasia (LN) or Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH).
  • * Intolerance/hypersensitivity to iron, dextran compounds or SPIO
  • * An iron overload disease
  • * Patient deprived of liberty or under guardianship
  • * Pregnant or lactating patients
