Could new scans save more lives? massive trial for dense breast screening launches
NCT ID NCT06636370
First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two newer screening methods—contrast-enhanced mammography and a shorter MRI—to standard mammography alone for women aged 50-75 with extremely dense breast tissue. Dense tissue makes tumors harder to see and raises cancer risk. The goal is to find which method detects cancers earlier with fewer false alarms, while being more practical and affordable than full MRI. About 36,000 women in the Dutch screening program will participate.
