This study evaluates the effectiveness of a breast ultrasound method for the diagnosis of breast cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as breast ultrasound, may help find and diagnose breast cancer, and may help measure a patient's response to earlier treatment. The purpose of this research is to test the effectiveness of a new investigational breast ultrasound method to detect an abnormality in the breast, and assess response to breast cancer treatment.
Participants with suspicious breast lesions by mammography will undergo fine needle aspiration (FNA) under ultrasound guidance. The FNA will be read by the cytopathologist and analyzed in the breast cancer detection cartridge. All patients will receive standard of care (Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and diagnosis). We will also receive FNA collected from 60 patients with palpable lesions in South Africa and analyze them samples in our lab with the same method.

The purpose of this study is to increase early detection and prevention of breast and cervical cancer through education and navigation and to increase breast and cervical cancer screening and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in underserved Latinas.
The purpose is to evaluate implementation of a community-based prevention project aimed at increasing early detection and prevention of breast and cervical cancer through education and navigation and to increase breast and cervical cancer screening and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in underserved Latinas.
The purpose of this multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) reader study is to evaluate reader performance when SoftVue™ automated breast ultrasound and screening mammography are combined, compared to screening mammography alone, in women with dense breast parenchyma. This includes obtaining information that can be used to properly plan, design, and power future ROC reader studies. This reader study will include a minimum of 6 radiologist readers and an enriched sample of at least 100 breast screening or diagnostic cases to be selected from the library of images collected under Delphinus Protocol #DMT-2015.001 (NCT03257839). The reader study image case set will be enriched with cancer cases.
The primary goal of this study is to compare, within a clinical screening setting, the performance of stereoscopic digital mammography with standard (non-stereo) digital mammography in the detection of abnormalities in the breast, including early breast cancer.
The objective of this project is to validate a next-generation assay that utilizes both the protein biomarkers of our already established ovarian cancer risk assessment combined with a molecular profile in both germline and early somatic detection.
The EXActDNA-003 study will prospectively enroll participants who are planning to undergo chemotherapy for high-risk, early breast cancer, who are willing to provide tissue and blood specimens for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis. Participants will be followed for up to 5.5 years.
The TriNetra™ Breast test is intended for use as a breast cancer screening test that evaluates Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) associated with breast cancer. The TriNetra™Breast test should be a useful breast cancer screening option for asymptomatic women 40 years of age and older. This pivotal study is designed to provide evidence of test performance and to demonstrate its safety in the intended use population in the USA.
This study investigates if a new type of test called Droplet-BC screening test can classify breast cancer patients from non-cancer volunteers by circulating small-noncoding RNA in the blood with a statistical validity. This study also investigates if this test can classify the subgroup of breast cancer patients with a variety of conditions. Information from this study may provide a new method of breast cancer screening/diagnosis
Subjects with suspicious breast lesion (BIRADS category 4/5) who are scheduled to undergo biopsy will be recruited to undergo imaging evaluation with Contrast Enhanced Dual Energy Mammography (CEDM), Contrast Enhanced Breast MR (CEMR) and Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS).
The purpose of the pivotal reader study is to assess the comparative accuracy of Fujifilm DBT plus S-View versus FFDM in the detection of breast cancer.
The purpose of this pilot is to provide credible performance estimate information in order to conduct a subsequent pivotal reader study.
This is a non-treatment study. It will not involve the use of any investigational drug or device. Potential participants will be enrolled through direct contact with collaborating clinical sites when the patient's annual 3D mammogram report yields a BIRADS rating of 4-5. The clinical Investigators or a member of their staff will conduct consent discussion once a suspicious mammogram report is identified or if a patient is referred for imaging of a suspicious area in the breast. After consenting the participant will be asked to donate a blood sample, a saliva sample, medical records pertaining to the suspicious mammogram report and a medical history questionnaire. The participants will be followed after one year to capture progression or resolution of their suspicious mammogram report. After a biopsy confirms the diagnosis of cancer or benign lesion, a recut sample of the tissue may be requested for research.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in human breath are captured and analyzed by the Spectrosense EVA system, which is combination of a gas chromatography (GC) and software algorithm. The objective is to obtain a set or sets of VOC bio-markers that will provide the best discrimination between Breast Cancer sick population and healthy population. The gold standard for identifying sick/healthy population is biopsy proven breast cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies light-scattering spectroscopy in finding disease in patients with stage II-III breast cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as light-scattering spectroscopy, may help find and diagnose breast cancer
The purpose is to develop digital tomosynthesis to improve the detection of breast cancers. The aims are optimizing digital mammography and tomosynthesis acquisition, creating visualization tools, prospective pilot studies to evaluate radiologist performance, and computer-aided detection.
This study is designed to determine whether molecular detection of breast cancer cells in the peripheral blood of Stage IV breast cancer patients is a clinically relevant predictor of progression-free and overall survival. Stage IV breast cancer patients who have measurable breast cancer metastases and are initiating a regimen of systemic therapy are eligible for enrollment. Multi-marker real-time RT-PCR analysis will be performed on peripheral blood specimens from 92 breast cancer patients and 120 healthy volunteers. Peripheral blood specimens from breast cancer patients will be obtained at the time of study entry (prior to initiation of systemic therapy) and at serial time points during follow-up. Subjects will be followed longitudinally until death, although the study has been powered so that the primary objective can be addressed after 12 months of follow-up. Healthy volunteers will be asked to provide a blood sample at time of enrollment but will not be followed.
