Contrast-Enhanced Mammography for the Improvement of Surveillance in Women with a Personal History of Breast Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase III trial investigates how a contrast-enhanced mammogram works in improving screening of women with a history of breast cancer who may be inadequately scanned by mammography alone. The contrast enhancement consists of injecting an iodine-containing “dye” into the bloodstream that allows researchers to better see masses that may represent cancer in the breasts. Results of this study may indicate earlier breast cancer detection and less invasive treatment than if the cancer were detected as part of usual care.
