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 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.
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 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 study uses breast MRI scans to see whether neoadjuvant (before-surgery) chemotherapy is working. If you qualify, you’ll have MRI scans to help doctors understand how your breast cancer responds to standard treatment.
