Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy for Breast Cancer?

Research shows that ultrasound-guided biopsies are accurate in diagnosing breast conditions, helping to avoid unnecessary surgeries for non-cancerous lumps and aiding in treatment planning for cancerous ones.12345

Is ultrasound-guided biopsy safe for humans?

Ultrasound-guided biopsy is generally considered safe for humans. In a study involving 45 patients, the procedure was successful with no major technical complications, although slight vasovagal reactions (fainting or dizziness) were observed in 4 patients.24678

How is ultrasound-guided biopsy different from other breast cancer treatments?

Ultrasound-guided biopsy is unique because it uses sound waves to guide a needle to take tissue samples from the breast, making it a minimally invasive and highly accurate method for diagnosing breast cancer compared to traditional surgical biopsies. This technique is also useful for removing certain benign breast lumps without surgery.2591011

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial compares a method using ultrasound to collect cells or tissue from tumors with results from surgery to see if the method can accurately detect disease in patients with tumors.
