New treatment option for Breast Cancer

Official title Comparison of Breast Cancer Screening With CESM to DBT in Women With Dense Breasts

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05625659

What this study is testing

What it's testing
The over-arching goal of the Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography Imaging Screening Trial (CMIST) is to determine if dual-energy contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) can detect more cancers with fewer false positives than digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in women with dense breasts. Aim 1: To evaluate the performance of CESM compared to DBT at baseline for breast-cancer screening in women with dense breasts.
