About this trial
The feasibility of the use of magnetic clips for tumour localisation before preoperative chemotherapy in combination with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIO) as tracer for sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection and in combination with a magnetic clip in the index lymph node metastasis is studied.
