Plain English Summary
Current plain English summary as of 19/10/2018:
Background and study aims
The study aims to compare a new technique of tumour marking in patients with breast cancer.
Who can participate?
Adult women with non-palpable breast cancer (cancer that cannot be felt using the fingers) suitable for
breast-conserving surgery.
What does the study involve?
Study participants will be randomised to the marking of the breast tumour with either a guide wire (a thin wire placed into the tumor using a mammogram or ultrasound) or a magnetic clip that will serve as a guide for tumour removal with guidance during the operation from a hand-held magnetism detector.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Patients participating in the study will undergo a closer follow-up in the postoperative period. No financial reimbursement will be provided. The risks are the same as for a simple breast tissue biopsy and include pain, swelling and bruising.
Where is the study run from?
The study is run from the Breast Unit of Uppsala University Hospital, which is the lead centre. The trial will be undertaken in Uppsala University Hospital and in Västmanlands County Hospital.
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
October 2017 to February 2022 (updated 05/11/2019, previously: December 2019)
Who is funding the study?
The study is funded by Uppsala University. The magnetic markers (Magseed) and the tracer for the sentinel node biopsy (SiennaXP) will be provided by EndoMagnetics (Cambridge, UK).
Who is the main contact
Main contact for the study is Andreas Karakatsanis, MD, PhD, FEBS, Consultant Oncoplastic Surgeon, Uppsala University Hospital.

| Scientific title | Tumour localization and sentinel lymph node identification using a magnetic localisation marker (Magseed) and super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SiennaXP): The randomised MagTotal trial |
| Study acronym | MagTotal |
| Study hypothesis | The MagSeed tracer is non-inferior to the guidewire in successful resection of the primary tumour. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Uppsala Regional Ethics Commitee, 10/01/2018, DNR 2017/508 |
| Condition | Breast cancer |
| Intervention | Patients partaking in the study will be allocated to marking of the tumour either with Magseed or a guidewire. Allocation will be performed with block randomisation using a block size of 10 and an allocation ratio of 1:1 using a random number generator software . The SPIO Sienna XP© will be injected in the preoperative period, peritumorally by the breast radiologist guided by ultrasound or mammography in non-palpable lesions. At the same time, the breast radiologist will insert the Magseed close to the tumour in patients allocated in the Magseed arm. In patients randomised to tumour localization by guide wire, the guide wire will be inserted on the same day as the surgery. During breast-conserving surgery (BCS) the transcutaneous signal by SentiMag in the breast and axilla, as well as the presence and size of skin staining will be registered. After the excision of the primary tumour, a specimen count as well as a background count will be performed. In the post-operative visit to the outpatient clinic, staining and magnetic signal in the breast will be registered. At the postoperative multidisciplinary team meeting the need of a reoperation due to non-radical resection will be registered. The number of sentinel nodes (SNs) and non-SNs and the occurrence of lymph node metastases will be registered. |
| Intervention type | Procedure/Surgery |
| Primary outcome measure | Radical excision, defined as free surgical margins of the specimen of the primary tumour according to preoperative diagnosis. |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Width of margins per study arm in mm from the tumour to the resection margin both on specimen radiology and on final pathology. 2. Operative time from the beginning of the breast operation until the excision of the specimen in minutes. 3. Intraoperative and postoperative complications on 30 days, described by the Clavien Dindo classification and the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) (www.assessurgery.com). 4. Cost/benefit analysis based on the expenses of inpatient and outpatient care regarding the operation and 30 days of the postoperative period. |
