Light-Scattering Spectroscopy for Detection of Breast Cancer

November 11, 2021 updated by: University of Southern California

Light-Scattering Spectroscopy for the Detection of Stage II-III Breast Cancer: A Pilot Study

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.
