Imaging blood vessels and tumor spread in breast cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a special imaging method to look at the blood vessels near your breast tumor, understand how far the cancer has spread, and check for similarities in other parts of the body. It helps doctors plan your care better before you start treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer but have not yet started treatment (no chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not taking part in any other clinical trials.
- You do not have a fever or skin condition that might interfere with the exam.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at blood and tissue samples from people newly diagnosed with breast cancer to better understand the disease and possibly find better ways to treat it. It is for people who have not yet started treatment, so it may be an opportunity to contribute to research early in your journey.
This trial looks at tumor cells in the blood of women with breast cancer to understand them better. It may help doctors learn more about how the disease spreads.
This study looks at tiny particles released by cells (called extracellular vesicles) in people with breast cancer. It may help researchers better understand breast cancer and how it behaves, which could improve future testing or treatments.
This study is testing whether a special MRI scan can help show tiny features inside breast tumors (TMEM). It’s mainly a “feasibility” study, meaning the team is checking if the scan can be done safely and clearly in different types of operable breast cancer.
This study uses molecular breast imaging (MBI) to help guide biopsies for women with breast abnormalities. It has two parts: one for women with past MBI findings that turned out to be benign, and another for women who need a biopsy now based on recent imaging.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique (VisR) to look at the structure of breast tissue and collagen in women with suspicious or known breast cancer. The goal is to see if this imaging can help doctors better understand breast cancer without needing a biopsy.
