About this trial

The over-arching goal of the Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography Imaging Screening Trial (CMIST) is to determine if dual-energy contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) can detect more cancers with fewer false positives than digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in women with dense breasts.

Aim 1: To evaluate the performance of CESM compared to DBT at baseline for breast-cancer screening in women with dense breasts.

Aim 2: To evaluate the performance of CESM compared to DBT at the 1-year follow up for breast-cancer screening in women with dense breasts.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

1. Women must have mammographically dense breasts, ACR BI-RADS® lexicon categories c or d (heterogeneous or extreme fibroglandular tissue) on their most recent prior screening.

2. Women agree to not undergo whole breast screening ultrasound for the duration of the trial until the year 2 standard of care imaging.

3. Women must not have symptoms or signs of benign or malignant breast disease (e.g., bloody, or clear nipple discharge, breast lump, focal breast pain).

4. Women must be able to undergo intravenous (IV) administration of iodinated contrast (e.g., no contraindication to intravenous contrast administration for Omnipaque [iohexol], and no known allergy-like reaction to iodine or moderate or severe allergic reactions to one or more allergens as defined by the American College of Radiology [ACR]: https://www.acr.org/-/media/ACR/files/clinical-resources/contrast_media.pdf).

Disqualifiers

1. Women currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, or planning surgery for a high-risk lesion (ADH, ALH, LCIS, papilloma, radial scar).

a mammogram less than 11 months prior to study entry.

screening breast ultrasound within 11 months prior to study entry.

breast MRI less than 36 months prior to study entry.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Dual-Energy Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM)

    Diagnostic test

    In addition to their standard, digital breast tomosynthesis mammogram (DBT) performed at their regular screening visits, all participants will also receive a contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM). These same diagnostic tests, both the DBT and CESM, with be repeated at 1 year post study entry for all participants. At year 2 post study entry, all participants will return to their usual breast screening exams and no longer received a CESM.
