Comparing MRI scans with surgery for breast cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study checks if an MRI scan can accurately measure the size of a breast tumor before surgery, compared to the size found after the tumor is removed. This could help doctors plan surgery better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer that can be removed with surgery.
- This is your first time being diagnosed with breast cancer.
- You do not have a pacemaker, allergies to contrast dye, or certain other conditions.
- Your tumor is classified as BIRADS IV, V, or VI (meaning it looks suspicious or is confirmed as cancer).

This study compares the size of a breast tumor measured before surgery (using imaging tests like mammogram or ultrasound) with the actual size found after the tumor is removed. It helps understand how accurate preoperative measurements are for patients having breast cancer surgery.
This study uses a breast MRI scan to look at suspicious areas in the breast. It may help doctors better tell which breast changes need closer follow-up like a biopsy.
This study compares two ways of imaging the breast—molecular breast imaging (a scan that uses a small radioactive tracer) and standard breast MRI—to better find or rule out breast cancer. You may join if you are considered high risk and already have a breast MRI planned, and you can do both tests close together.
This study is testing whether adding an MRI to a normal mammogram can find more cancers in women with dense breasts. If you participate, you may benefit from extra monitoring and peace of mind.
This study tests advanced MRI imaging techniques to better diagnose breast cancer and evaluate treatment response. If you have a suspicious breast lesion, this trial may help doctors see it more clearly before biopsy or surgery.
This trial compares a special mammogram with dye (CEDM) to MRI for women already diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The goal is to see if CEDM works as well as MRI for planning surgery, potentially offering a faster or easier option.
