Targeted axillary dissection using carbon marking for patients with node-positive breast cancer following neoadjuvant therapy (TADCOM): study protocol for a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer enables pathological complete response (pCR) in patients initially diagnosed with axillary lymph node metastases, potentially obviating the need for axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Current targeted axillary dissection (TAD) techniques, guided by traditional tissue markers placed prior to NAC, face challenges such as marker loss and high costs. Carbon nanoparticle suspension injection (CNSI) offers a stable and reliable alternative for marking, which could enhance the TAD procedure.

Surface Optimization of Noble-Metal-Free Conductive [MnCoNi]O Nanosheets for Boosting Their Efficacy as Hybridization Matrices.

Conductive 2D nanosheets have evoked tremendous scientific efforts because of their high efficiency as hybridization matrices for improving diverse functionalities of nanostructured materials.
