Breast Cancer Detection on Chest CT Scans
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether routine chest CT scans—imaging done for other reasons—can reliably find breast cancer. Researchers will compare chest CT results with mammograms and/or breast MRI to see if this approach could catch breast cancers earlier without extra imaging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who has had a non-contrast chest CT scan (a type of imaging that takes pictures of your chest)
- You also have had at least one other breast imaging test, such as a mammogram or breast MRI, done within 3 months of your chest CT
- If any breast lumps or abnormal areas were found on imaging, they must have been confirmed by biopsy or checked with follow-up imaging/visits for at least 12 months
- You have not received cancer treatment (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation) before your imaging scans
- Your imaging scans must be complete, clear, and good quality—without blurring or artifacts that make interpretation difficult

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a special breast CT scan done with a lower radiation dose to help produce clear breast images. You may be able to join if you are getting breast imaging or a biopsy for a possible breast issue and meet the safety and comfort requirements.
This study tests whether a special type of mammogram (contrast-enhanced mammography, or CEM) can help doctors see additional breast findings that show up on MRI. It may help avoid unnecessary extra biopsies or surgeries.
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 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 uses a special type of mammogram with contrast dye to see if it can predict how well breast cancer responds to chemotherapy before surgery. It's for people with HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer.
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.
