<ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">The LUM Imaging System uses a dye, called LUM015, that is injected into your body before surgery.</li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">The LUM015 dye then attaches to cancer cells in breast tissue. This can help the surgeon determine if cancer cells remain in the tumor bed after the DCIS or tumor has been removed. If cancer cells remain, your surgeon will remove more tissue.</li></ul>

<ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive substance called a tracer. A tracer looks for and attaches to cancer cells.</li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Lobular breast cancer is a subtype of breast cancer. It is estimated that 10 to 15 percent of all breast cancers are lobular. </li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Standard of care PET/CT scans that use a FDG tracer generally do not find lobular breast cancer tumors as well as they find ductal breast cancer tumors and PET/CT scans are not usually given to people with stage I-II lobular breast cancer. </li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">This imaging trial will use a tracer called (18F)Fluoroestradiol (FES). Researchers believe this tracer is better at locating and attaching to lobular cancer cells than the standard of care tracer.</li></ul>
