Ultrasound to check breast cancer response before surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a special 3D ultrasound and light-based scan to see if breast cancer is shrinking during chemo or chemoradiation before surgery. It may help doctors tell sooner whether the treatment is working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have breast cancer that has not yet been treated and you will get chemotherapy or chemoradiation before surgery.
- Your tumor can be seen on an ultrasound or MRI.
- You are well enough to be up and about (ECOG score of 0 or 1) and expected to live at least 6 months.
- Your blood tests show enough healthy blood cells and good liver and kidney function.
- You have not had chemo, radiation, or major surgery in the last 4 weeks, and you can sign a consent form.

This trial tests whether a special ultrasound measurement can help doctors choose the right chemotherapy plan during treatment for breast cancer. It may help avoid under- or over-treatment by adjusting care based on the ultrasound results.
This study uses a special light-based imaging scan to learn more about breast masses and how tumors may respond to chemotherapy before surgery. The scan is meant to help doctors better characterize tumors and potentially track treatment response.
This study tests whether special ultrasound pictures and “spectroscopy” measurements can help characterize breast masses that may be cancer. It may help doctors tell more about what a lump is and guide next steps.
This study uses a special 3D ultrasound machine to look at breast lumps more closely. It may help doctors better understand breast masses without needing a biopsy.
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 study uses special ultrasound imaging (and may use MRI results) to look for early signs of how locally advanced breast cancer responds to chemotherapy, with or without radiation. If the imaging changes early, it could help doctors adjust treatment sooner.
