NCT02455791

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the use of an ultrasound-guided biopsy with what is found during surgery in finding evidence of the disease.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Diagnostic Accuracy of Ultrasound-Guided FNA and Core Biopsy of Initial Breast Cancer Region Compared to Standard Surgery with Pathologic Evaluation

    Accuracy of FNA and core biopsy determined by comparing these biopsy results to the pathologic evaluation removed during standard surgery. Estimates and 95% confidence intervals for accuracy, sensitivity, false negative rate (FNR), specificity as well as the negative predictive value (NPV) reported for FNA and core biopsy based on the exact Clopper-Pearson method.

Study Arms (1)

Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy of Tumor Site

EXPERIMENTAL

Ultrasound-guided biopsy of the tumor site performed before scheduled surgery.

Procedure: Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy

Interventions

Ultrasound-guided biopsy of tumor site. A needle is inserted into the affected area using an ultrasound to collect cells or tissue from a tumor mass. Two (2) types of samples collected.

Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy of Tumor Site
