Ultra-detailed ultrasound imaging to track breast cancer treatment response
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of ultrasound imaging called super-resolution ultrasound that creates very detailed pictures of breast cancer. Researchers will use it to track how well chemotherapy is working before surgery, which may help doctors plan better treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18–75 years old
- Your breast cancer has been diagnosed by a biopsy (tissue sample)
- You are scheduled to receive chemotherapy before surgery at this hospital
- Your cancer shows up clearly on a standard ultrasound scan
- You have not had any prior treatment (surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy) for this breast cancer
- You are willing to have extra ultrasound images taken during your chemotherapy

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 uses a special 3D ultrasound and light-based scan to see if breast cancer is shrinking during chemo or chemoradiation before surgery. It may help doctors tell sooner whether the treatment is working.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound measurement can help doctors choose the right chemotherapy plan during treatment for breast cancer. It may help avoid under- or over-treatment by adjusting care based on the ultrasound results.
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 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 a special ultrasound technique (VisR) to look at the structure of breast tissue and collagen in women with suspicious or known breast cancer. The goal is to see if this imaging can help doctors better understand breast cancer without needing a biopsy.
