Summary
Surgery is the primary treatment modality for many types of cancer and the extent of surgical
resection is directly related to patient survival. However, it is often difficult for
surgeons to distinguish normal from neoplastic tissue or to detect metastatic disease or
tumor-infiltrated lymph nodes. In some sites, surgical precision is also required to avoid
damage to critical normal tissues. The purpose of this exploratory study is to evaluate the
intra-operative and ex vivo fluorescence of BLZ-100 in tumor samples from subjects with
breast cancer.
