Three Dimensional (3D) Ultrasound in Predicting Response to Breast Cancer Therapies

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancers
Registration Number
NCT00721903
Lead Sponsor
University of Michigan
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine how well changes can be determined in malignant masses from ultrasound scans.

Detailed Description

To evaluate the proportions of correct diagnosis of response to breast Cancer therapies for localized breast cancer by ultrasound. To develop a model based on patient characteristics, physical exam, and radiologic studies which will predict the possibility that a patient has had a complete pathological response to chemotherapy neoadjuvant therapy.
