Better breast cancer staging with digital breast tomosynthesis
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study compares a newer 3D breast imaging method (digital breast tomosynthesis) to standard mammography to see if it gives a more accurate picture of the cancer's size and spread before surgery. If it works better, doctors can plan the right operation the first time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been told you have a breast lesion that is BI-RADS 4 or 5, meaning it looks suspicious for cancer
- A biopsy has confirmed the lesion is breast cancer
- You have not had any breast surgery in the past
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation therapy for this or any other cancer

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two types of digital breast tomosynthesis (3D mammogram) systems to see which one makes breast masses and distortions easier to see. If you are a woman getting a routine screening mammogram, you may be able to join.
This study is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that reads 3D mammograms (called DBT) to help doctors find and manage breast conditions more accurately and quickly. It could help guide treatment, especially for women getting chemotherapy before surgery.
This study tests a newer, more detailed 3D mammogram (called wide-angle tomosynthesis) combined with artificial intelligence (AI) to help doctors see breast tissue more clearly. It might improve the accuracy of diagnosing breast conditions in people who have been called back for more imaging or have breast symptoms.
This study tests a new upright 3D breast CT scanner that aims to find breast cancer earlier and more comfortably. It uses a very low dose of radiation and may help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
This trial tests a new high-resolution breast imaging system during routine screening. It aims to see if the images are clear and accurate for women without breast symptoms.
This trial tests a new type of MRI scan to measure breast tumors before surgery. It may help doctors plan treatment more accurately for people with DCIS (a very early form of breast cancer).
