Compliance with ethical standards
:
: This study was funded by the Royal Marsden/Institute of Cancer Research National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre. The Magseeds used in this study were provided by Endomag (UK producers of Magseeds). Since the study, The Royal Marsden has received an educational grant from Sysmex (UK distributors of Magseeds) to allow observing surgeons and radiologists from elsewhere to visit and learn the technique. The data were collected and analysed independently by Royal Marsden clinicians with no input from Endomag or Sysmex.
: This study was granted approval as a service evaluation by our institution’s research committee.
: Women who were undergoing surgery in the early part of the Magseed phase were informed that this was a new technique to us as part of their consent to surgery. All procedures performed as part of the study were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments. As an observational study, formal consent was not required.
