Summary

This early study tested whether a special ultrasound technique (contrast-enhanced ultrasound) can estimate pressure inside breast tumors without needles. 25 women scheduled for breast biopsy took part. The goal was to see if this noninvasive method could match standard pressure measurements, potentially offering a safer way to diagnose and monitor breast cancer.
