Imaging study to detect and monitor breast changes
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests special ultrasound and/or MRI imaging to better detect and track breast cancer and related changes over time. You may be asked to have scans around the time of biopsy or during treatment to help doctors see small blood-vessel changes in the breast.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older
- You have a suspicious breast lump and are scheduled for a biopsy, or it has been at least 2 weeks since your biopsy
- If you already have breast cancer, you must be planning neoadjuvant chemotherapy and/or endocrine therapy
- You must be able to safely get the planned imaging (ultrasound and/or MRI, depending on the study plan)
- You cannot have breast implants or any issue that makes ultrasound use unsafe or unreliable

This study tests a new way to look at the breast using photoacoustic imaging, alongside a breast MRI. It may help researchers see breast masses more clearly, even though it’s mainly for measuring how well the imaging works.
This study uses ultrasound and/or MRI scans to see how breast cancer responds early while you start “neoadjuvant” treatment (chemotherapy, with or without radiation before surgery). It may help doctors spot response sooner and better understand which imaging changes match treatment benefit.
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.
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 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 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.
