NCT ID NCT07262138

First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study looks at whether it is safe for women aged 70 and older with very small, screen-detected breast cancers to skip immediate treatment and instead have regular imaging to monitor the tumor. Researchers will track how many participants' tumors grow within 12 months. The goal is to see if active surveillance can be a safe option for older women with low-risk breast cancer.
