Using specialized CT scans for accurate breast cancer staging
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special type of CT scan (called spectral CT) can help doctors get a more accurate picture of how far breast cancer has spread. If you are a woman with suspected breast cancer, this scan may give your doctor better information for planning your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- Your doctor suspects you have breast cancer
- You are able to have a CT scan (no severe heart, lung, or kidney problems)
- You are not allergic to iodine contrast dye (used during the scan)
- You have not had another type of cancer before
