An Imaging Technology, Contrast-Enhanced Mammography, in Predicting Breast Cancer

Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) for the Evaluation and Targeted Biopsy of Suspicious Mammographic Architectural Distortions

Enrollment

Conditions

Summary

This clinical trial examines a new imaging technology, contrast-enhanced mammography, in predicting breast cancer. Contrast-enhanced mammography is similar to standard mammography, but it includes an intravenous (by vein) injection of iodine-based contrast, which makes tissue and blood vessels more visible in scans. Contrast-enhanced mammography may work better in detecting cancer in the breast that is not seen on other imaging tests and may help doctors find the most suspicious areas of the breast to biopsy, which could increase the chances of finding breast cancer.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study evaluates whether contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) — a type of mammogram that uses an injected dye to highlight suspicious areas — can better predict whether a breast abnormality is cancerous before a biopsy is done. The goal is to improve how doctors assess suspicious findings and reduce unnecessary biopsies. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman between 25 and 85 years old - You have a suspicious breast finding that has been recommended for a stereotactic (image-guided) biopsy - You plan to have your biopsy at MD Anderson Cancer Center - You are willing to receive an IV contrast injection and provide informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have had an allergic reaction to iodinated (X-ray) contrast dye before - You have a history of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to any substance - You have kidney problems - You are pregnant or breastfeeding (within 6 months) - You have had breast surgery or a biopsy at the same site within the past 2–6 months Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
