Photoacoustic imaging test for breast nodules and chemo response
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a breast lump that can be clearly seen on a regular ultrasound.
- You plan to have a biopsy or surgery of the lump within 1 week.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- The breast lump is not swollen or infected from an injury.
- The lump has not already been removed by biopsy.

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 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.
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 tests whether a special high-detail ultrasound can better show how breast cancer responds to chemotherapy given before surgery. It may help doctors tailor treatment and improve outcomes.
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 advanced 3D ultrasound and spectroscopy to see how well breast cancer responds to chemotherapy given before surgery. It may help doctors know early if the treatment is working.
