AI-Powered scans aim to predict breast cancer remission without surgery

NCT ID NCT06708910

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether a special type of scan (PET/MRI) combined with artificial intelligence can accurately tell if HER2-positive breast cancer has been completely eliminated after chemotherapy. Researchers will scan 460 women before, during, and after treatment, then compare the scan results with tissue samples taken during routine surgery. The goal is to see if the scan can reliably identify complete remission, potentially replacing some follow-up procedures.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

18F-FDG PET/MRI with artificial intelligence

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a non-invasive way to accurately assess treatment response in HER2-positive breast cancer, reducing the need for surgical biopsies.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The AI model may not be accurate enough in real-world settings, and results may not apply to all patients.
