Trial summary

Breast cancer is the leading cancer among Taiwanese women, and it is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. The five-year survival rate for early-stage breast cancer (Stage 0 to II) is over 90%, significantly better than the survival rates for Stage III and Stage IV breast cancer, which are… Read more about this study

About this study

Breast cancer is the leading cancer among Taiwanese women, and it is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. The five-year survival rate for early-stage breast cancer (Stage 0 to II) is over 90%, significantly better than the survival rates for Stage III and Stage IV breast cancer, which are approximately 70% and 25%, respectively. As a result, breast cancer screening and early diagnosis have always been of great importance. Breast cancer screening relies on imaging examinations, and the diagnosis depends on imaging-guided tissue confirmation.

However, when a patient undergoes stereotactic breast biopsy due to suspicious lesions found in mammography, they typically have to wait about a week to receive the pathology results to determine whether the lesion is benign or malignant. For the patient, this waiting period can be agonizing, and for clinicians, earlier knowledge of pathology results would facilitate prompt staging evaluation and treatment planning for cancer.

The investigators use a special technique-paper spray ionization miniature mass spectrometry (PSI-MMS). According to preliminary research, with the assistance of AI, the miniature mass spectrometer can detect the benign or malignant nature of breast tissue within minutes and with decent accuracy. The investigators hope to continue research to further improve accuracy to meet clinical needs and aspire to have the opportunity to apply the miniature mass spectrometer to rapidly differentiate the molecular subtypes of breast cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jo-Yu Chen, MD (+886223123456 ext. 262570, joyuchen@ntuh.gov.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

breast cancer (time frame: July 2024 to July 2025). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Oct 2024.
