Study Summary

This trial is comparing a special type of mammogram using contrast with breast MRI to see how well they predict the effect of chemotherapy on breast cancer. Participants will have mammograms and contrast agents injected before surgery

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with early-stage, invasive breast cancer who are planning to undergo at least four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery. Participants will have mammograms using a contrast agent during/after chemo but before surgery.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (CEDBT) against MRI in predicting the effectiveness of pre-surgery chemotherapy on eliminating cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from needle insertion for the contrast agent, allergic reactions to the contrast medium, and exposure to low levels of radiation during mammography.
