NCT ID NCT07416500
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether testing for certain gene changes (methylation) can help doctors tell if a breast lesion is cancerous or not. 301 women with suspicious breast lumps had standard biopsies plus extra gene testing. The goal was to see if the gene test could improve diagnosis and reduce the need for surgery on harmless lesions.
