Summary

This study in Indonesia will test whether a portable ultrasound device can help doctors quickly decide if a breast lump found during a physical exam is likely benign or possibly cancerous. 600 women with breast lumps will get an ultrasound at a primary care clinic. The goal is to see if this approach can safely reduce the number of women who need to go for mammograms or biopsies, easing the burden on hospitals.
