MRI Characterization of Mammographically Detected DCIS (NCT03495011)
MRI Characterization of Mammographically Detected Calcifications and Ductal Carcinoma in Situ
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a single institution, prospective observational clinical trial for women with mammographically identified calcifications that may represent ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The purpose of this study is to determine whether quantitative, multiparametric breast MRI performed prior to surgical resection can biologically characterize this common pre-invasive malignancy, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which typically presents in asymptomatic women as suspicious calcifications on mammography.
