New imaging test may predict chemo success early in breast cancer
NCT ID NCT05402930
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a contrast-enhanced mammogram (angiomammography) can predict if breast cancer will fully disappear after chemotherapy. 67 women with breast cancer had imaging after two rounds of chemo. The goal was to see if this method could identify non-responders early, allowing doctors to switch treatments and improve outcomes.
