A newer agent, superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO), was developed to address the challenges faced with the traditional method. This study aims to compare the detection rate of SLN biopsy and show the non\u2010inferiority of SPIO.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From March 2021 to April 2024, patients with clinically and radiologically node\u2010negative breast cancer were randomized to receive SPIO\u2010only injection or dual tracer for SLN localization.

SLN localization failed in one patient. The identification rate was 99.3% (95% CI: 95.8\u201399.9). 149 patients were in the dual tracer group with 156 SLN procedures done. The identification rate was 100% (95% CI: 97.0\u201399.9). The absolute difference was 0.7% (95% CI: \u22121.2 to 2.7).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results suggest that SPIO, as a single agent, used in SLN biopsy for early breast cancer is non\u2010inferior to the dual tracer method.
