New Ultrasound-Based method could improve breast cancer diagnosis
NCT ID NCT04841252
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new, noninvasive method called SAVE to help classify breast masses as benign or malignant. Researchers at Mayo Clinic enrolled 266 women with breast lesions to see how well the SAVE method could tell cancerous from non-cancerous masses. The goal is to provide a safer, more accurate way to diagnose breast cancer without invasive biopsies.
