New study pits CESM against MRI for breast cancer detection
NCT ID NCT05390229
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compared contrast-enhanced mammography (CESM) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosing suspicious breast lesions in 231 women. Both imaging methods were evaluated against biopsy or surgery results to see which is more accurate. The goal is to determine if CESM could be a reliable alternative to MRI for breast cancer diagnosis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If CESM proves as accurate as MRI, it could offer a faster, cheaper, and more accessible diagnostic option for suspicious breast lesions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed diagnostic comparison study, not a treatment trial. Results may show CESM is less accurate than MRI, and findings may not apply to all populations or settings.
