MRI surveillance study for breast cancer survivors with dense breasts
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had breast cancer in the past and are 50 years old or younger
- You have dense breast tissue (known from a prior mammogram)
- You are getting routine mammograms at MD Anderson and they are normal or benign
- You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have untreated breast cancer or are not currently on cancer treatment (except tamoxifen)
- You can have an MRI with contrast dye and have no MRI safety issues

This study compares two ways of imaging the breast—molecular breast imaging (a scan that uses a small radioactive tracer) and standard breast MRI—to better find or rule out breast cancer. You may join if you are considered high risk and already have a breast MRI planned, and you can do both tests close together.
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.
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 uses a breast MRI scan to look at suspicious areas in the breast. It may help doctors better tell which breast changes need closer follow-up like a biopsy.
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 uses a special type of MRI called diffusion-weighted imaging to help diagnose breast cancer and check on it after treatment. It is for women who have a breast lump or whose breast cancer has returned after chemotherapy or radiation.
