NCT ID NCT07207564

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Mayo Clinic study is recruiting 4,500 women who had a benign breast biopsy between 2002 and 2022. Researchers will examine tissue samples, mammograms, and genetic data to find clues about why some women later develop breast cancer. The goal is to improve risk prediction and tailor future screening and prevention strategies.

If successful, this study could improve how doctors predict breast cancer risk in women with benign breast disease, leading to earlier detection and personalized screening.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly change patient care, and results may take years to apply in practice.
