3D ultrasound and spectroscopy for breast cancer treatment response
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses advanced 3D ultrasound and spectroscopy to see how well breast cancer responds to chemotherapy given before surgery. It may help doctors know early if the treatment is working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have breast cancer (stage I to IV) that hasn't been treated yet with first-line therapy.
- You will receive chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy before surgery.
- Your cancer can be seen on an ultrasound or MRI done within 28 days before treatment starts.
- You are generally well (ECOG performance status 0 or 1) and have a life expectancy of at least 6 months.
- Your blood counts and liver/kidney function meet certain levels within 7 days before starting the study.
- You have not had chemotherapy, radiation, or major surgery in the last 4 weeks, and have no serious infections or other unstable conditions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 tests a new 3-D ultrasound technique to look at breast lumps in more detail. It may help doctors tell if a lump is cancer without needing a biopsy.
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 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.
