Extent of Breast Cancer and the Role of Pre-Operative Sonography and MRI
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Ductal Breast Carcinoma In Situ, Stage IA Breast Cancer, Stage IB Breast Cancer, Stage II Breast Cancer
In brief
This clinical trial studies mammography and targeted ultrasound with or without whole-breast ultrasound or contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in finding out the extent of disease before surgery in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer. New diagnostic imaging procedures, such as whole-breast ultrasound or contrast-enhanced MRI, may help find out how far breast cancer has spread. It is not yet known whether mammography and targeted ultrasound are more effective with or without whole-breast ultrasound or contrast-enhanced MRI in finding out how far breast cancer has spread.
