NCT ID NCT01035112
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study compares magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with standard diagnostic techniques like mammography to see which method best finds and defines breast cancer. Researchers will enroll about 500 women with suspicious breast lesions to evaluate accuracy. The goal is to improve early detection and reduce unnecessary biopsies.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If MRI proves superior, it could become the preferred tool for detecting and mapping breast cancer, potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational comparison, not a treatment trial. MRI may not outperform existing methods, and results may not change current practice.
