Read our Breast Cancer research guide →The MAGNETO study is comparing two different ways to mark a breast tumor before surgery so doctors can find and remove it precisely. One method uses a small magnetic clip placed in the breast, while the other uses a thin wire. The study wants to understand which method works better and how satisfied patients and doctors are with each approach.
Before breast-conserving surgery, doctors need an accurate way to locate the tumor so they can remove it completely while preserving as much healthy breast tissue as possible. This study is comparing two localization methods to see which one is more effective, easier to use, and leads to better patient outcomes and satisfaction.

You will be enrolled by your surgeon during a preoperative visit. Depending on which method your hospital uses, either a magnetic clip or a wire will be placed in your breast to mark the tumor location. You'll have a mammogram to confirm correct placement, and both the radiologist and surgeon will fill out satisfaction surveys about the procedure. You'll complete quality-of-life questionnaires at several points during the study, and the doctors will track any complications after surgery.
