Using portable ultrasound to check breast lumps
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if a portable ultrasound device can help quickly evaluate breast lumps found during a physical exam. It aims to improve screening in places where standard mammography may not be available.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have no history of breast cancer or breast surgery
- You do not have symptoms that strongly suggest breast cancer, like an open sore or bloody nipple discharge

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 tablet-based ultrasound (a scan using sound waves) to help identify breast lumps that look like cancer. If your lump looks suspicious, the scan result is intended to guide next steps like biopsy or surgical removal at the hospital.
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 trial tests whether using a robot to perform breast ultrasound can help find cancer early. You would use a smartphone to guide the screening, and the study compares this method to standard screening.
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.
