Could a simple scan before surgery reduce repeat breast cancer operations?

NCT ID NCT01805076

Completed Diagnosis Sponsor: Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested whether adding a breast MRI scan to the standard pre-surgery imaging (mammogram and ultrasound) helps doctors plan better surgery for women with early-stage breast cancer. It aimed to see if the extra scan leads to fewer cancer recurrences, fewer repeat surgeries, and better long-term survival. Over 300 women participated and were randomly assigned to receive either standard imaging or standard imaging plus an MRI before their breast-conserving surgery.
