Ultrasound-like pictures that track breast tumors during chemotherapy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be age 20 to 80, and be able to sign consent
- Be able to follow the scan safety steps during the scanning visits
- If joining the chemo-monitoring group: have biopsy-confirmed locally advanced breast cancer and be on neoadjuvant chemotherapy
- If joining the mass-characterization group: be referred to a breast clinic for a new breast mass workup
- No pregnancy or breastfeeding during the study
- No implanted devices like a pacemaker/defibrillator or certain nerve stimulators

This study uses advanced 3D ultrasound and spectroscopy to see how well breast cancer responds to chemotherapy given before surgery. It may help doctors know early if the treatment is working.
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 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.
This study uses a new imaging technique that combines light and sound to examine breast lumps. It may help doctors diagnose breast cancer, determine its type, and see how well chemotherapy is working.
This study uses special ultrasound imaging (and may use MRI results) to look for early signs of how locally advanced breast cancer responds to chemotherapy, with or without radiation. If the imaging changes early, it could help doctors adjust treatment sooner.
This study tests whether a special high-detail ultrasound can better show how breast cancer responds to chemotherapy given before surgery. It may help doctors tailor treatment and improve outcomes.
