Special mammogram for finding breast cancer when origin is unknown
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial uses a special mammogram with contrast dye to look for breast cancer in people who have cancer that started somewhere unknown (called Cancer of Unknown Primary). It may help find if the breast is the source, which could guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Cancer of Unknown Primary (cancer found in the body but doctors don't know where it started).
- You have a breast or breast tissue (this includes women and transgender people).
- There is a suspicion that the cancer might have started in the breast (based on exams or scans).
- You are able to understand and agree to join the study (informed consent).
- You do not have severe kidney problems or allergies to contrast dye used in the mammogram.

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 compares two advanced breast imaging methods—contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and breast MRI—to see which is better at finding cancer, especially in women with dense breasts or unclear mammogram results. If you are being referred for one of these exams, you may be able to join and help doctors learn which test works best.
This study tests whether a special type of mammogram, called contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), can better spot additional breast abnormalities that were seen on your MRI. It might help doctors decide on the best next steps without needing more invasive tests.
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 study tests whether contrast-enhanced mammography (a special mammogram with a dye injection) can help find breast cancers in women who have had breast cancer before and have dense breasts. You would get this test in addition to your normal screening, and it may offer better detection than ultrasound alone.
This trial tests how well a special type of mammogram (contrast-enhanced mammography) can detect cancer in women with suspicious breast findings. It may help provide a more accurate diagnosis without needing a traditional biopsy right away.
