New imaging test for breast lumps using sound and light
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new kind of imaging that uses sound waves and light to tell if a breast lump is benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). It could help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a breast lump or nodule seen on an ultrasound.
- You are scheduled to have a needle biopsy or surgery to check that lump.
- You have not had a biopsy of that same lump before this ultrasound.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not currently receiving cancer treatment (like chemotherapy) before surgery.

This study tests a new device that combines ultrasound and light to take pictures of the breast. It may help doctors find and understand breast problems without needing surgery or needles.
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 new imaging technique that combines light and sound to examine breast lumps. It may help doctors diagnose breast cancer, determine its type, and see how well chemotherapy is working.
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 uses a special light-based imaging device to look at breast tumors. It's for people with breast lumps bigger than 1 cm who can understand Swedish and haven't had breast surgery or chemotherapy before.
This study tests how well a new 3D ultrasound method can “see” a solid breast lump that is being biopsied. It may help doctors get clearer images to guide diagnosis, especially alongside a standard biopsy.
