A Study to Evaluate the Accuracy of a Breast Cancer Locator (BCL) in Patients With Palpable Cancers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Breast Cancer Locator (BCL) for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 23 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In this study, the investigators will enroll women with palpable cancers to assess the accuracy of the Breast Cancer Locator (BCL) and the concomitant procedure as a vehicle to optimize and validate the approach in such surgical cases. This approach of adopting palpable cancer patients before initiating an evaluative trial of the BCL in non-palpable breast cancer cases ensures that the BCL does not substantially alter or modify the standard-of-care procedure.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
This locator is constructed pre-operatively, sterilized and provided to the surgeon at the time of the procedure. The outline of the breast cancer on the breast surface at the point where the cancer is closest to the skin is built into the locator, so that the surgeon can simply apply the locator to the patient's breast and trace the tumor outline on the skin.
