New study tests cheaper breast cancer screening for High-Risk women

NCT ID NCT06629896

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) to the standard MRI plus digital mammography for screening women at high risk of breast cancer. About 2200 women aged 35-60 with a 5-year risk of 5% or higher will be randomly assigned to one of the two screening methods over two rounds. The goal is to see if CEM, which is faster and less expensive, can detect breast cancer just as well as MRI.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with digital mammography

What this could lead to

If CEM works as well as MRI, it could offer a faster, cheaper, and more accessible screening option for women at high risk of breast cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 2 trial with 2200 participants, so results are preliminary. CEM may not detect cancers as accurately as MRI, and the study only follows women for 2.5 years.
