First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study tests whether contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) can safely reduce the number of breast biopsies for women with breast findings that are suspicious but not highly suspicious (BI-RADS 4A or 4B). About 2,100 women scheduled for a biopsy will first get a CEM. The goal is to see if CEM can correctly identify benign cases and lower biopsy recommendations by at least 20%, while still catching nearly all cancers.
