About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Healthy, no Evidence of Disease
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants who are breast cancer free (mammogram "negative" within 1 month of testing) with the absence of clinical suspicion of breast cancer on physical exam or with clinical stage II or stage III breast cancer. PLEASE NOTE: Recruitment for this study is only limited to patients who are scheduled for a mammogram at USC. There is no compensation to participants.
- Provision of informed consent prior to any study-related procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Females with tattoos on either or both breasts
- Females with nipple piercings on either or both breasts
- Females with skin piercings (aka microdermal anchor surface or microdermal piercings) in either or both breasts
- Females unable to provide informed consent
- Females s/p treatment for breast cancer
Sites / Locations
- USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies light-scattering spectroscopy in finding disease in patients with stage II-III breast cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as light-scattering spectroscopy, may help find and diagnose breast cancer
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate whether light-scattering spectroscopy can reliably distinguish between two subject groups: those with clinical stage II or stage III breast cancer and those without breast cancer.
OUTLINE: Patients undergo light-scattering spectroscopy of the breast in addition to standard of care as it relates to screening for breast cancer or treatment of breast cancer.
