Contrast mammography for better DCIS surgery planning
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether contrast-enhanced mammography (a special type of mammogram with dye) can better show how far DCIS (an early breast cancer) has spread, compared to standard mammography. This could help doctors plan more precise surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with DCIS (early breast cancer) through a biopsy.
- You are willing to have surgery at Clinical Hospital Center Rijeka and join the study.
- You do not have kidney problems, iodine allergy, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and do not have an overactive thyroid.
- You have not had a breast MRI before your surgery.
- You do not have invasive breast cancer (except for very small microinvasion less than 1 mm).
- You have not had previous breast cancer surgery on the same side.

This trial compares a special mammogram with dye (CEDM) to MRI for women already diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The goal is to see if CEDM works as well as MRI for planning surgery, potentially offering a faster or easier option.
This study tests whether a special type of mammogram (contrast-enhanced mammography, or CEM) can help doctors see additional breast findings that show up on MRI. It may help avoid unnecessary extra biopsies or surgeries.
This study looks at whether contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) can find breast cancer better in women who have dense breast tissue and a personal history of breast cancer. If you've had breast cancer before and have dense breasts, this trial could help improve early detection.
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.
This trial tests whether doing a follow-up ultrasound after a special type of mammogram (contrast-enhanced mammography) can better understand extra breast spots that need more checking. It might help doctors give a clearer diagnosis.
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.
