Abstract

Fluorescence Guidance for Lumpectomy SurgeryThis prospective trial of 406 patients assessed margin status with and without pegulicianine fluorescence-guided surgery (pFGS) for stages 0 to 3 breast cancers. The use of pFGS met prespecified thresholds for removal of residual tumor and specificity but did not meet the prespecified threshold for sensitivity.
