Trial Information

GeneSearch Breast Lymph Node (BLN) Assay Timing Study


Assay turn-around-time will be collected at sites that are using the GeneSearch BLN Assay
for intraoperative testing of sentinel lymph nodes. The sites must be planning to use the
assay result to guide the decision to complete an axillary lymph node dissection.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Pre-operatively established diagnosis of invasive carcinoma of the breast

- Scheduled for axillary sentinel lymph node dissection as per standard of care at the
clinical site for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients

- Patients for whom the GeneSearchâ„¢ BLN Assay will be used intra-operatively to make a
decision for an axillary lymph node dissection

- 18 years of age or older

- Female or male

Exclusion Criteria:

- Previous diagnosis of lymphoma

- Subjects participating in other research studies that would interfere with their full
participation in this study

- Patients and/or conditions with 'interfering substances' as listed in the IFU

- Patients who have had any pre-operative treatment for breast cancer including
neoadjuvant and/or hormonal intervention such as aromatase inhibitors or tamoxifen

Type of Study:

Observational

Study Design:

Observational Model: Case-Only, Time Perspective: Prospective

Outcome Measure:

To determine, under clinical use conditions, the assay turn-around-time (TAT) from the time of node removal to the report of the assay result to the surgeon.
