Contrast mammogram screening for women with dense breasts
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests how well a special mammogram with contrast can help assess breast cancer risk in women with dense breast tissue. It may help improve screening planning, especially when standard mammograms are harder to read due to density.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 30 to 75, and you have dense breasts (ACR BI-RADS C or D)
- You get yearly mammograms at participating MD Anderson (MDACC) sites
- You are willing to enroll in study PA17-0584 (or already are)
- You can and agree to sign informed consent to join the study
- You have had no new breast symptoms since your last mammogram (like nipple discharge, a new lump, skin dimpling, or one spot of pain)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing whether adding an MRI to your regular mammogram can help find any new breast cancers earlier. It is for women who have had breast cancer before and still have dense breast tissue, making mammograms harder to read.
This study tests whether contrast-enhanced mammography (a special mammogram with a dye injection) can help find breast cancers in women who have had breast cancer before and have dense breasts. You would get this test in addition to your normal screening, and it may offer better detection than ultrasound alone.
This trial compares two imaging tests—CESM (a contrast-enhanced mammogram) and DBT (3D mammography)—to see which works best for women with dense breast tissue. It may help improve how early breast changes are found in dense breasts.
This trial offers extra screening (MRI or contrast-enhanced mammogram) for women with extremely dense breast tissue who have had a normal mammogram. The goal is to see if these extra tests can find cancers that might be missed by standard mammography.
This study is testing whether adding an MRI to a normal mammogram can find more cancers in women with dense breasts. If you participate, you may benefit from extra monitoring and peace of mind.
This study tests whether getting a contrast-enhanced mammogram (CEM) every two years is effective for detecting breast cancer in women who have had breast cancer before. If you qualify, you will receive CEM instead of a standard mammogram to see if it helps find cancer earlier.
