This study uses ultrasound to examine arm tissue in women who have had breast cancer. It aims to see if ultrasound can reliably detect changes in arm soft tissue, which may help identify or prevent arm swelling and stiffness after treatment.
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 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.
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 looks at how often older breast cancer survivors (80+) should get mammograms. It aims to make screening more personalized so women get the right amount of imaging.
This trial tests whether spa treatments using ultrasound can help older adults stay healthy and active. You may be able to join if you are 70 or older and can do daily activities like climbing stairs or getting in and out of a bath.
