Ultrasound imaging and treatment for breast tumors
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses focused ultrasound waves to create detailed images of breast tumors and deliver targeted treatment. It aims to improve how breast tumors are treated while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have a benign breast tumor or early-stage breast cancer that hasn't spread to lymph nodes, and you are scheduled for surgery to remove it.
- OR you have invasive breast cancer (at least 4 mm in size) and your doctor recommends systemic therapy (like chemotherapy) before surgery.
- You have not received laser or radiation therapy to the affected breast.
- You do not have breast implants.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- If you may receive an ultrasound contrast agent, you must not have a history of allergy to products like Definity or polyethylene glycol (PEG).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial tests whether high-intensity focused ultrasound (a targeted heat treatment) can treat some types of breast tumors and potentially reduce the need for more invasive surgery. It may help people who have specific tumor features and who are able to safely undergo MRI and the required positioning.
This trial tests a new way to combine radiation therapy with ultrasound and tiny bubbles to treat breast cancer that has spread to the chest wall or is advanced. It aims to make radiation more effective and safer.
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy using MRI imaging and ultrasound to make the radiation more targeted and potentially safer. If you have chest-wall or breast cancer and are already scheduled for radiation, this approach might offer a more precise treatment option.
This study tests a new imaging tool (ultramicro-flow technique) to help doctors treat uterine fibroids or adenomyosis with focused ultrasound without surgery. The goal is to make the treatment safer and more accurate, especially for tumors deep inside the uterus.
This trial uses a special ultrasound with a contrast agent to get clearer images of breast lumps. It may help doctors decide if a lump needs a biopsy.
