Photoacoustic Imaging for Characterizing Breast Masses and Breast Tumor Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Pilot Study to Evaluate Photoacoustic Imaging for Characterizing Breast Masses and Breast Tumor Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Dec 2023 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Our objective in this pilot study will be to identify PA parameters that can distinguish benign vs. malignant lesions, and also, if PA parameters change with within breast tumors during chemotherapy treatment over time.
