ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new type of imaging technology called 3D ultrasound (3D-US), which uses sound waves to create detailed images of lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer. The goal is to see how well this new method works in evaluating lymph nodes, which can be important for understanding the spread of cancer and planning treatment.

To participate in this trial, you need to be a woman aged 18 or older who has undergone a lymph node biopsy or had a lymph node clip placed as part of your regular care. If you join, you can expect to have a 3D ultrasound performed, which is a non-invasive procedure that doesn't involve radiation. The study is currently recruiting participants, and it's important to know that certain individuals, like prisoners or those who can't give consent, are not eligible to participate. Overall, this trial aims to improve how we use imaging technology to help patients with breast cancer.
