MRI peers into early breast lesions to unlock hidden clues

NCT ID NCT03495011

First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looks at whether advanced MRI scans can help doctors understand the biology of very early breast changes called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which often show up as calcium spots on mammograms. About 122 women with these suspicious calcifications or recent DCIS diagnosis will get a special MRI before surgery. The goal is not to treat the disease, but to see if MRI can tell which cases are more aggressive, potentially guiding future care.
