NCT04501419

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to train Nigerian radiologists to perform ultrasound-guided breast biopsies on women that present to the hospital with a suspicious breast mass. Before performing biopsies on patients, the Nigerian radiologists will have already successfully completed a competency-based mobile health ultrasound-guided breast biopsy-training program. This program, developed by experts in Nigeria and the United States of America, certifies that they have the skills required to safely perform these biopsies on patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Accuracy of US-guided breast biopsy in Nigeria compared to reference standard surgical excision

    US-guided breast biopsies accuracy measurements will be reported using surgical pathology as the reference standard. Specifically we will report accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, sensitivity and specificity.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Complication rates from US-guided breast biopsy compared to reference values reported in the literature.

    12 months

Study Arms (2)

Trained radiologists

EXPERIMENTAL

Trainers will successfully train Nigerian radiologists

Other: Ultrasound-guided breast biopsy training program

Patients with a suspicious breast mass

EXPERIMENTAL

Women that present to the hospital with a suspicious breast mass

Procedure: US-guided breast biopsy

Interventions

During this study, women with undergo an US-guided breast biopsy by a radiologist instead of what is typically performed in Nigerian hospitals, which is either a blind biopsy or surgical excision. US-guided breast biopsy is the standard of care in the United States of America because the accuracy is better than blind biopsy and equal to surgical excision.

Gender Eligibility DetailsBreast cancer
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18 and older female
  • Breast ultrasound demonstrating a solid mass that is suspicious for cancer, which would typically undergo either a blind biopsy or surgical excision at the Nigerian hospital where the patient is seeking diagnosis.

You may not qualify if:
