Trial summary

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become a mainstay surgery method in breast cance, and the identified number of sentinel lymph nodes determines its accuracy for axillary status. Retrospective study indicated that preoperative tumor biopsy results in more detected sentinel lymoh nodes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial of Comparison of Tumor Biopsy Method of Preoperative Vacuum-Assisted, Core Needle Versus Intraoperative Excisional Biopsy for Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Breast Cancer

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become a mainstay surgery method in breast cance, and the identified number of sentinel lymph nodes determines its accuracy for axillary status. Retrospective study indicated that preoperative tumor biopsy results in more detected sentinel lymoh nodes. The clinical trail is designed to compare the effect of three tumor biopsy methods (preoperative vacuum-assisted biopsy, core needle biopsy, and intraoperative excisional biopsy) for sentinel lymph nodes.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Compare the identification rate of sentinel lymph node in breast cancer patients with different tumor biopsy methods.

Evaluate the false-negative rates of sentinel lymph nodes in patients with different tumor biopsy methods.

OUTLINE:

The patients were randomly divided into three group, vacuum-assisted biopsy, core needle biopsy, and intraoperative excisional biopsy. Preoperative vacuum-assisted biopsy and core needle biopsy were performed in 10 days before the final surgery. All patients received dual tracer (radiolabeled colloid and blue dye) guided SLNB.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy, Core Needle Biopsy and Intraoperative Excisional Biopsy in people with Breast Cancer and Sentinel Lymph Node, run by Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhiyong Yu, PhD (86-13355312277, drzhiyongyu@aliyun.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identification rates of sentinel lymph node biopsy (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04568941, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Oct 2020.
