MRI-guided focused ultrasound for breast cancer during surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This early study tests whether a device that uses focused ultrasound (guided by MRI) can be safely used during surgery for women with invasive breast cancer. It mainly looks at feasibility—whether the treatment can be delivered as planned and is safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 focused radiation treatment before surgery for early-stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. The goal is to give precise radiation only to the tumor, with the hope of reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
This trial studies using MRI images to help plan and guide radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery. It may help doctors target the right area more accurately while keeping treatment standard and safe.
This study tests a new imaging method that combines MRI with light scanning to get better pictures of breast cancer before surgery. You may qualify if you have a recent breast cancer diagnosis with a tumor that is 2 cm or smaller and can have an MRI.
This trial compares three different methods (ultrasound, wire, or magnetic seed) used during surgery to help doctors remove a breast tumor that can't be felt. The goal is to see which method works best for guiding the surgeon to remove the entire tumor while saving as much healthy breast tissue as possible.
