Study Summary
This trial assesses a new 3D ultrasound imaging technique to examine axillary lymph nodes in people with breast cancer. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the body.
Who is the study for?
This clinical trial is for women over the age of 18 who have breast cancer and are scheduled to undergo a biopsy of their axillary lymph nodes, which are located near the armpits. It's not open to prisoners or adults unable to consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new imaging technology called 3D ultrasound (3D-US) to see how well it can evaluate axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer compared to standard imaging methods.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive ultrasound imaging, there are minimal side effects expected. The procedure may involve some discomfort similar to that experienced during regular ultrasounds.
