Ultrasound scans to better study breast lumps
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether special ultrasound pictures and “spectroscopy” measurements can help characterize breast masses that may be cancer. It may help doctors tell more about what a lump is and guide next steps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a special 3D ultrasound machine to look at breast lumps more closely. It may help doctors better understand breast masses without needing a biopsy.
This study uses a special 3D ultrasound and light-based scan to see if breast cancer is shrinking during chemo or chemoradiation before surgery. It may help doctors tell sooner whether the treatment is working.
This study uses a special light-based imaging scan to learn more about breast masses and how tumors may respond to chemotherapy before surgery. The scan is meant to help doctors better characterize tumors and potentially track treatment response.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound measurement can help doctors choose the right chemotherapy plan during treatment for breast cancer. It may help avoid under- or over-treatment by adjusting care based on the ultrasound results.
This study explores a new way to process ultrasound images of the breast. It is for women who have a finding, cyst, mass, or calcifications seen on a mammogram or ultrasound, and it uses a special ultrasound technique that may provide clearer images without extra radiation.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique (VisR) to look at the structure of breast tissue and collagen in women with suspicious or known breast cancer. The goal is to see if this imaging can help doctors better understand breast cancer without needing a biopsy.
