Patient Experience After Contrast-enhanced Spectral Mammography for Breast Cancer Screening

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This study evaluates how well women may adopt a contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) as their yearly breast screening test compared to the standard 2-D or 3-D mammogram. CESM is used most often when additional information is needed after a standard mammogram. CESM has also been used to determine the extent of a known breast cancer, to screen patients at high risk for developing breast cancer due to a family history or positive cancer genes, and for women with dense breast tissue. This study may help identify women’s attitudes towards CESM as a screening tool.
