This study shows the use of Magtrace for sentinel lymph node detection in breast cancer patients after primary systemic therapy (PST).

Pantiora et al (2024)

This study found SPIO-guided sentinel lymph node detection in early breast cancer to be non-inferior to standard techniques and can safely replace current gold standard methods.

Man et al (2023)

The study found that using Magtrace for delayed sentinel lymph node dissection (dSLNB) in patients with DCIS significantly reduces unnecessary upfront SLNDs, improves nodal detection rates, and lowers healthcare costs.

Karakatsanis et al (2023)

This study shows the cost coverage of surgical procedures for breast cancer treatment in Germany, using superparamagnetic marking.

Lux et al (2023)

This Study shows Magseed and Magtrace used together for breast cancer localization and sentinel lymph node detection. ​

Pantiora et al (2023)

The study compared skin staining incidence and size after sentinel lymph node biopsy using blue dye and Magtrace. No significant difference was found between tracers.

Jazrawi et al (2022)

The study evaluates the use of Magtrace for sentinel lymph node detection in breast cancer, demonstrating comparable effectiveness to traditional radioisotope and blue dye methods, with improved preoperative injection outcomes.
