Official Title: Dedicated Breast CT for Quantitative Breast Density Measurements in Mexican-origin Women in Southern Arizona
Study ID: NCT04799665
Brief Summary: The overall objective of this clinical study is to determine the feasibility of breast CT for breast density assessment and association of CT-derived density measures with metabolic syndrome in overweight/obese Mexican-origin women in Southern Arizona. These evaluations will help support follow-up clinical research utilizing breast density acquired by breast CT as a surrogate endpoint biomarker to evaluate breast cancer preventive strategies. The long-term goal of these research efforts is to develop safe and effective preventive strategies to reduce obesity-associated breast cancer burden in our catchment area.
