Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The overall aim is to demonstrate that the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIO) as a tracer in an ultra-low dose (0.1 ml) is non-inferior for sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection in patients with breast cancer compared to the dual technique using Tc99m +/- blue dye, and to evaluate MRI breast artefacts and skin staining over time.

- Sentinel node detection with 0.1mL SPIO and Technetium99
- description
- An intradermal injection of SPIO (MagTrace®), according to the pre-specified dose of 0.1mL, will be performed 7 days, up to the day of surgery. The injection should be in the skin over the tumour, or at the border of the areola. All patients will also receive technetium per routine.
