Additional Imaging Methods for Assessing Axillary Lymph Node Involvement in Breast Cancer

NCT07418411 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 180

Summary

Breast cancer frequently spreads to the axillary lymph nodes, and accurate assessment of axillary lymph node involvement is essential for staging and treatment planning. Standard imaging methods may not always reliably determine the extent of axillary disease before treatment.

This study evaluates the usefulness of additional radiological imaging methods for assessing axillary lymph node involvement in patients with breast cancer. The aim is to improve pre-treatment identification of lymph node metastases and to better estimate the extent of axillary disease.

Supplementary Axillary Imaging (Ultrasound Elastography and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound)

Participants will undergo additional radiological imaging of the breast and axilla using ultrasound elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in order to assess the presence and extent of axillary lymph node involvement in breast cancer. These supplementary imaging methods are performed in addition to routine diagnostic evaluation.
