About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Ductal Carcinoma In-situ focused on measuring Ductal Carcinoma In-situ, Contrast Ultrasound, Microinvasion, Elastography

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A woman with imaging signs suggesting a diagnosis of DCIS who is scheduled for ultrasound and a biopsy is eligible for the study.
  • At least 18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or possibly pregnant or breast feeding
  • Unable to provide informed consent
  • Drug or multiple allergies
  • Known cardiac shunts
  • Known cardiac or chronic pulmonary disease
  • Hypersensitivity to perflutren

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Contrast perfusion and elastography arm

Arm Description

Intravenous injection of microbubble contrast agent and elastography

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Evidence of the presence of angiogenic tumour vasculature in patients diagnosed with DCIS utilizing contrast enhanced ultrasound.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measurement of transient shear wave elastography .
The quantitative intralesional measurement of shear wave modulus will be compared to the angiogenesis imaging and biomarkers.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a pilot study designed to investigate new techniques to guide the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of Ductal Carcinoma In-situ (DCIS). The microvascularity and stiffness of the lesion may be prognostic factors that can guide the need for more or less extensive therapy or perhaps only imaging follow-up may be needed.
Detailed Description
Women who have imaging findings suggestive of DCIS, who are having breast ultrasound and who are candidates for surgery will be eligible. They will receive a contrast-enhanced breast ultrasound after the intravenous injection of a microbubble contrast agent which will show the microvascularity. A subset of women will also have ultrasound elastography performed of the abnormality to evaluate its stiffness.
