New biopsy test could help some breast cancer patients skip surgery
NCT ID NCT03289195
Summary
This study is testing whether a special MRI-guided biopsy can accurately tell when breast cancer has completely disappeared after chemotherapy. Researchers want to see if this biopsy method is reliable enough that, in the future, some women who show no cancer on their post-treatment MRI might not need breast surgery. The study involves women with certain types of breast cancer who have finished chemotherapy and show no visible tumor on their follow-up MRI scan.
