Contrast-enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) Breast Cancer Screening

Willingness of Women to Undergo a Contrast-enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) for Breast Cancer Screening and Their Experience Before and After CESM


Sponsor

University of Virginia

Enrollment

210 participants

Start Date

Sep 19, 2019

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well women may adopt a Contrast-enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) as their yearly breast screening test compared to the standard 2-D or 3-D mammogram.


Eligibility

Sex: FEMALEMin Age: 40 YearsMax Age: 69 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study compares a newer type of mammogram called contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) — which uses contrast dye to highlight unusual areas — to standard mammography for detecting breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue, which can make standard mammograms harder to read. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman between 40 and 69 years old - Your last mammogram showed dense breast tissue (heterogeneous or extremely dense) - You had a normal mammogram (BI-RADS 1 or 2) within the past 2 years - You are scheduled for a routine screening mammogram **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have an allergy to iodine contrast dye - You have kidney disease or kidney function problems - You are pregnant - You have diabetes, asthma, sickle cell anemia, or are on dialysis - You have a history of certain vascular or collagen diseases - You are already classified as high risk for breast cancer (greater than 20% lifetime risk) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DEVICEContrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM)

CESM is a mammogram performed after the injection of IV contrast. CESM is used most often when additional information is needed after a standard mammogram. CESM has also been used to determine the extent of a known breast cancer, to screen patients at high risk for developing breast cancer due to a family history or positive cancer genes, and for women with dense breast tissue. Two images are taken almost at the same time during the exam, after the iodine based contrast injection is administered. The first image is comparable to a regular mammogram. The second image shows areas that take up the contrast (enhance) showing increased blood flow. Breast cancers often enhance with contrast due to a greater amount of blood vessels. Non-cancerous lesions can also have greater blood flow.
