Breast Cancer
Who Can Participate in the Study?
Adults with breast cancer who:
- Are receiving chemotherapy; OR
- Are not receiving chemotherapy
- Are scheduled to get a lumpectomy at Duke
For more information about who can join this study, please contact the study team at kimberly.turnage@duke.edu.
What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study, you will:
- Get an injection of a study drug before your lumpectomy (LUM015 - this is a dye being developed to locate cancer cells)
- Be randomly assigned (like a coin flip) to have the normal lumpectomy surgery done or to have the surgery assisted by the Lumicell handheld device that scans the cavity in your breast during lumpectomy
- Have blood draws
We will schedule you for a follow-up visit after your lumpectomy. We will also call you at approximately 3, 6 and 12 months after the surgery to see how you are doing.
