NCT ID NCT02510456

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tested a noninvasive imaging method called DOSI that uses harmless near-infrared light to monitor how breast tumors respond to chemotherapy. Researchers scanned 24 women undergoing treatment to see if changes in oxygen levels in the tumor could predict whether the cancer would fully disappear. The goal is to provide a safe, bedside tool to guide treatment decisions without radiation or contrast dyes.
