Understand more about your care
What to expect from your treatment
If you've been told that you have breast cancer, you may require surgery to remove the affected tissue and check if the cancer has spread beyond the breast.
While the prospect of surgery can be daunting, the good news is that breast cancer is one of the most well-understood cancers. Thanks to recent innovations, it can now be treated with fewer surgical procedures and less discomfort than ever before.
Endomag technologies play a small but important role in the treatment of breast cancer, helping surgeons to perform removal and staging procedures with greater precision and care.
What do our products do?
When a surgeon performs breast surgery, they’re looking for the most likely sites of cancer. To help them find the right spot, they insert a small localisation device, and inject a tracer liquid into the breast before surgery.
In the past, surgeons have used devices called guidewires and radioactive tracers to perform these removal and staging procedures. However, with Endomag technologies the procedures are performed using magnetic alternatives instead. The benefits of our technologies include reduced discomfort, fewer hospital visits, improved cosmetic outcomes, and greater accuracy for the surgeon in removing the cancer.

Magtrace®'Delayed' sentinel lymph node biopsy with the Magtrace® lymphatic tracer
A Delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy (dSLNB) is a method of treatment that involves marking the lymph nodes ahead of surgery, but waiting for cancer results before further surgery to see if the biopsy is required.
MagseedTargeted axillary dissection with the Magseed® marker
Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) is a treatment that involves 'marking' cancerous lymph nodes in your underarm early, before undergoing a therapy such as chemotherapy, and then surgery.
Magtrace®Sentinel lymph node biopsy with Magtrace® lymphatic tracer
A sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a treatment that involves identifying and then surgically removing a small selection of lymph nodes from your underarm for investigation.
