Using magnetic seeds to locate breast cancer tumors
Localization of Breast Cancer with the Sirius Pintuition Magnetic Seed: a Pilot Study in the Czech Republic
Silesian Hospital in Opava · NCT06799858
This study is testing whether a special magnetic seed can help doctors find hard-to-detect breast cancer tumors and lymph nodes better before surgery.

What this trial studies
This observational pilot study is being conducted in the Czech Republic to evaluate the effectiveness of the Sirius Pintuition magnetic seed for locating non-palpable malignant breast tumors and pathological lymph nodes prior to surgery. Participants will undergo breast cancer surgery at the Silesian Hospital in Opava, where the magnetic seed will be utilized for precise localization. The study aims to improve surgical outcomes by enhancing the accuracy of tumor identification during procedures.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals with confirmed breast cancer who have non-palpable tumors or pathological lymph nodes requiring surgical intervention.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have breast cancer or those who disagree with participation in the study will not benefit.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more accurate surgical removal of breast tumors, potentially improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, similar studies using localization techniques have shown promise in improving surgical outcomes.
