Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Women above the age of 21 who have biopsy-proven stage I-II breast cancer and who are planning to undergo lumpectomy as a treatment for their disease. Furthermore, folate receptor (FR) expression of the tumour must be strong (¡Ý2+), as determined by immunohistochemistry prior to surgery.
Exclusion criteria: 1. Refusal of the patient to be included in the study;

2. Pregnant or breast-feeding;

3. Significant renal dysfunction (serum creatinin above 400 micromol/L);

4. Cardiac and/or pulmonary disease (ASA III-IV);

5. History of fluorescein allergy or anaphylactic reactions to insect bites or medication.


Age minimum:
Age maximum:
Gender:
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Breast cancer

Intervention(s)
Four (4) hours prior to the surgical procedure, the patient receives an injection with 0,3 mg/kg bodyweight folate-FITC compound in the cephalic vein through an intravenous infusion. The standard lumpectomy procedure is followed as normal. During the actual lumpectomy, the presence of tumour-bound folate-FITC is assessed by placing the optical imaging camera approximately 20 cm above the region of interest (operative field). This imaging procedure is additional to a standard lumpectomy and may result in a prolonged operation time up to 15-30 minutes.
Primary Outcome(s)
The main endpoint of this feasibility study is the intra-operative detection rate of breast carcinoma by a folate-FITC enhanced optical imaging device.
