Breast ultrasound testing during chemotherapy for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how breast tissue changes during chemotherapy given before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy). It may help doctors better understand treatment effects by taking special breast measurements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 or older
- Your doctor plans to treat your breast cancer with chemotherapy before surgery
- Your main breast tumor is at least 4 mm (about 0.4 cm)
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding
- You do not have breast implants
- You have not had laser or radiation therapy to the affected breast

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 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 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 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 uses ultrasound imaging to monitor how lymph nodes in the armpit respond to chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to predict which patients will have a good response to treatment and may need less extensive surgery.
This study tests a new type of ultrasound imaging called super-resolution ultrasound that creates very detailed pictures of breast cancer. Researchers will use it to track how well chemotherapy is working before surgery, which may help doctors plan better treatment.
