Summary

Researchers at Mayo Clinic are testing a new breast ultrasound method to see if it can better detect breast cancer and measure how well a patient responds to treatment. The study will involve 550 adult volunteers with suspicious breast masses or biopsy-confirmed breast cancer. Participants will undergo ultrasound imaging, and the results will be compared to standard diagnostic methods.
