Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate 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.


Clinical Trial Description

Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) is an FDA approved tool for breast cancer detection. However, adoption into clinical practice has been slow. In this study, we will explore patient issues related to the use of CESM for breast cancer screening. For this study, 210 women with heterogeneous or dense breast tissue reported on a previous mammogram, will be recruited to undergo a screening Contrast-enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM). The CESM will serve as the subject's annual screening breast exam for clinical care. A survey will be administered before and after the examination that evaluates the patient experience. Women will not be at high risk for breast cancer (<20% lifetime risk). All abnormal findings will be acted upon independently. Results of the general screening population survey will be compared with those of women who choose to undergo the CESM examination in order to evaluate the influence of age, education, and lifetime risk on decision making about advanced screening. ;
