Predicting breast cancer risk with ultrasound and traditional Chinese medicine
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound images and traditional Chinese medicine evaluations (like tongue and pulse) to help predict whether a breast lump is cancerous. It could help women get a more accurate idea of their risk before surgery or biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 30 and 75 years old.
- You have a breast lump found on an ultrasound, and you are scheduled for a biopsy or surgery to confirm what it is.
- You are able to complete a traditional Chinese medicine evaluation that includes looking at your tongue, pulse, face, and body type.
- You do not have severe heart, liver, or kidney disease, or other major long-term illnesses.
- You have never had any other type of cancer.
- Your ultrasound images need to be clear, and there should be no obvious skin or mouth issues that could affect the measurements.

This study uses ultrasound and mammogram images to try to predict the molecular type of breast cancer without needing a biopsy. If it works, it could help doctors choose the most effective treatment sooner.
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 checks whether a tablet-based ultrasound can find breast lumps that look suspicious for cancer. If it works well, it could help diagnose breast cancer faster in Nigeria where patients may need a biopsy or surgery next.
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 explores a new way to process ultrasound images of the breast. It is for women who have a finding, cyst, mass, or calcifications seen on a mammogram or ultrasound, and it uses a special ultrasound technique that may provide clearer images without extra radiation.
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.
