First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study trains Nigerian radiologists to use tablet-based ultrasound to guide breast biopsies, a method that is more accurate than the blind biopsies or surgical excisions currently used. Nine hundred women with suspicious breast lumps will participate. The goal is to make this advanced diagnostic technique sustainable and widely available in Nigeria.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make breast cancer diagnosis more accurate and accessible in Nigeria, reducing the need for blind biopsies or surgery.
