Laser Optoacoustic and Ultrasonic Imaging System Assembly in Finding Changes in Tumors in Patients With Breast Cancer
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Breast Neoplasm, Inflammatory Breast Carcinoma
In brief
This clinical trial studies laser optoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging system assembly in finding changes in tumors in patients with breast cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as laser optoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging system assembly, may help find and diagnose breast cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.
