NCT ID NCT06857669

First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests two light-based techniques (diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and photoacoustic imaging) to see if they can tell the difference between healthy, benign, and malignant breast tissue. About 90 adults with a breast tumor larger than 1 cm will be scanned, and the results will be compared to standard biopsy results. If successful, this could lead to a faster, needle-free way to diagnose breast cancer.
