Tablet-based Mobile Health Ultrasound for Point-of-care Breast Cancer Diagnosis in Nigeria


Sponsor

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Enrollment

600 participants

Start Date

Oct 5, 2019

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is to train Nigerian radiologists to perform ultrasound-guided breast biopsies on women that present to the hospital with a suspicious breast mass. Before performing biopsies on patients, the Nigerian radiologists will have already successfully completed a competency-based mobile health ultrasound-guided breast biopsy-training program. This program, developed by experts in Nigeria and the United States of America, certifies that they have the skills required to safely perform these biopsies on patients.


Eligibility

Sex: FEMALEMin Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether a tablet-based portable ultrasound device can guide needle biopsies for diagnosing breast cancer in Nigeria, where access to standard imaging equipment is limited. The goal is to improve accuracy and reduce the need for unnecessary surgery. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman aged 18 or older - A breast ultrasound has shown a solid mass in your breast that is suspicious for cancer - You would normally undergo a blind biopsy or surgical removal of the mass at the study site **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are unwilling to provide informed consent - You are under 18 years of age - Your breast mass has already been diagnosed or biopsied using image guidance Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

PROCEDUREUS-guided breast biopsy

During this study, women with undergo an US-guided breast biopsy by a radiologist instead of what is typically performed in Nigerian hospitals, which is either a blind biopsy or surgical excision. US-guided breast biopsy is the standard of care in the United States of America because the accuracy is better than blind biopsy and equal to surgical excision.
