Using LUminoMark vs Coventional Practice for Targeted Axillary Surgery
Sponsor: Kyungpook National University Chilgok Hospital
Summary
The purpose of this study was to compare the use of LuminoMarkTM as a method of targeting axillary lymph nodes with other existing methods used in each institution, such as charcoal staining, needle targeting, and ultrasound-guided skin marking, in patients with breast cancer clinically suspected of metastasis, with or without clipping at the time of diagnosis, regardless of the presence or absence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. By doing so, the investigators aimed to confirm the safety and usefulness of LuminoMarkTM as a targeting method.

Interventions
Targeting of axillary lymph nodes using LuminoMark
This group used LuminoMark as a targeting method for axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients with suspected metastasis, comparing it to existing methods (charcoal staining, needle targeting, ultrasound-guided skin marking) to assess its safety and effectiveness, with procedural differences based on neoadjuvant chemotherapy status.
Targeting of axillary lymph nodes using conventional method
This group used conventional method (charcoal staining, needle targeting, ultrasound-guided skin marking) as a targeting method for axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients with suspected metastasis, with procedural differences based on neoadjuvant chemotherapy status.
