Light-Scattering Spectroscopy for Detection of Breast Cancer
Study Details
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Accurate classifications of women with or without breast cancer [Up to 1 year]
Exact binomial probabilities will be used.
- Utility of optical markers in distinguishing cancer involved breasts from normal breasts [Up to 1 year]
Multivariate analyses will be used.
