New mammogram technique could spot hidden breast cancers
NCT ID NCT05667532
First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study is testing whether contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) can find breast cancers better than standard mammography in women with dense breasts. Dense breast tissue can hide tumors on regular mammograms. The trial will enroll 1,000 women aged 30-75 with dense breasts to compare the two imaging methods. If CEM works well, it could become a new screening option for this high-risk group.

If successful, CEM could become a more accurate screening tool for women with dense breasts, catching cancers earlier than standard mammography.
What could go wrong
This is an observational screening study, not a treatment trial. CEM may not prove significantly better, and results may not apply to all women or settings.
