An Imaging Technology, Contrast-Enhanced Mammography, in Predicting Breast Cancer

Summary

This clinical trial examines a new imaging technology, contrast-enhanced mammography, in predicting breast cancer. Contrast-enhanced mammography is similar to standard mammography, but it includes an intravenous (by vein) injection of iodine-based contrast, which makes tissue and blood vessels more visible in scans. Contrast-enhanced mammography may work better in detecting cancer in the breast that is not seen on other imaging tests and may help doctors find the most suspicious areas of the breast to biopsy, which could increase the chances of finding breast cancer.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* Women with suspicious MADs recommended for a stereotactic biopsy who underwent their diagnostic imaging work-up resulting in a biopsy recommendation at MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) or at an outside facility with a technically acceptable quality of diagnostic mammography, and who are planning to have their biopsy at MDACC
* Age 25-85 years
* Willing to participate in the study, undergo an IV placement, able to undergo iodinated contrast injection, and able to provide informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* Reported history of an allergic reaction to iodinated contrast
* History of anaphylactic reaction to any substance
* Renal insufficiency
* Pregnancy or lactation within 6 months
* Breast surgery affecting the site of interest within prior 6 months
* Breast biopsy at the site of interest within the last 2 months
