Study Summary
This trial will compare using ultrasound to guide a biopsy needle to what is found during surgery, in order to see how well ultrasound works in finding evidence of the disease.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a specific type of breast cancer (either triple negative or HER2 amplified) at various stages. Participants are those who have received preoperative therapy and are planning to undergo surgery.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is examining the effectiveness of using ultrasound-guided biopsy to detect breast cancer compared to traditional surgical methods. It aims to see if this less invasive technique can reliably find evidence of disease.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention being studied is an ultrasound-guided biopsy, potential side effects may include discomfort, bruising, bleeding at the biopsy site, and very rarely infection.
