Summary

This prospective, single-centre, parallel-group randomised controlled trial evaluates the optimal sequencing of mammography views in women with a history of breast cancer undergoing surveillance mammography. Women treated with breast-conserving surgery within the previous five years will be randomised 1:1:1:1 to one of four mammography view sequencing groups. The primary objective is to compare patient-reported pain and satisfaction across sequencing groups. Secondary objectives include comparison of image quality (PGMI scoring), compression force, and breast thickness. A total of 400 participants will be enrolled at Beaumont Hospital Breast Care Centre over 2.5 years.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at the best order in which to take X-ray images (mammography views) during routine follow-up mammograms for women who have previously had breast cancer treated with lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery). The goal is to find the sequence that gives radiologists the best diagnostic information. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman aged 18 or older - You previously had breast cancer treated with breast-conserving surgery (wide local excision, not full mastectomy) - You are coming in for your first annual surveillance mammogram after completing surgery and radiotherapy - It has been 5 years or less since your breast cancer treatment ended - You are able and willing to give consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are male - You are under 18 - You had a full mastectomy - You had surgery on both breasts (bilateral wide local excision) - It has been more than 5 years since your breast cancer treatment - You lack the capacity to consent Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

PROCEDUREMammography View Sequencing

Standard surveillance mammography consisting of MLO and CC views of both treated and untreated breasts. Participants are randomised to one of four predefined sequences determining the order in which views are obtained. No additional imaging beyond standard of care is performed.
