Optimal Mammography View Sequencing in Women With a History of Breast Cancer Undergoing Surveillance Mammography
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Mammography View Sequencing: Standard surveillance mammography consisting of MLO and CC views of both treated and untreated breasts. Participants are randomised to one of four predefined sequences determining the order in which views are obtained. No additional imaging beyond standard of care is performed.
Study summary
This prospective, single-centre, parallel-group randomised controlled trial evaluates the optimal sequencing of mammography views in women with a history of breast cancer undergoing surveillance mammography. Women treated with breast-conserving surgery within the previous five years will be randomised 1:1:1:1 to one of four mammography view sequencing groups.
The primary objective is to compare patient-reported pain and satisfaction across sequencing groups. Secondary objectives include comparison of image quality (PGMI scoring), compression force, and breast thickness.
A total of 400 participants will be enrolled at Beaumont Hospital Breast Care Centre over 2.5 years.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in Patient-Reported Pain Score During Mammography — Immediately before and immediately after mammography (same study visit)
Pain will be measured using a 10-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Pain scores will be recorded immediately prior to mammography and immediately following completion of mammography. The primary analysis will compare post-procedure pain scores across the four randomised sequencing groups. - Patient Satisfaction Following Mammography — Immediately after mammography (same study visit)
Patient satisfaction will be assessed immediately after mammography using a structured electronic questionnaire administered via MS Forms. Responses will be compared across the four sequencing groups.
