New mammogram method could replace costly MRI for breast cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06220214
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a special contrast-enhanced mammogram (CEDM+CEDBT) with standard breast MRI to see if it can accurately predict whether breast cancer has been eliminated by chemotherapy. About 30 women with locally advanced breast cancer will get 1-2 of these mammograms during or after chemo, before surgery. If successful, this cheaper and faster imaging method could replace MRI for checking treatment response.
