About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Breast Cancer focused on measuring FACBC PET/PEM, MR, 11-177

Eligibility Criteria

21 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women presenting for evaluation at MSKCC with biopsy proven primary IDC or ILC
  • No prior therapy for IDC or ILC
  • Clinical need for local disease staging with breast MR (Group A only)
  • Clinical need for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Group B only)
  • Patients must provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age <21 years
  • Men
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Patients who have already started treatment for the current malignancy
  • Patients who cannot undergo PET scanning (i.e. because of weight limits)
  • Patients who are known to have contraindication for MRI (e.g. metal implants)
  • Patients may only participate in group #1 or group #2, but not both

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Experimental

Arm Label

Local staging patients

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients

Arm Description

Breast MR and FACBC PET/PEM will be scheduled within one week of each other. Breast MR is a standard clinical examination and will be performed as standard.

Baseline FACBC PET/PEM will be scheduled within 1 week of beginning neoadjuvant therapy. A repeat FACBC PET/PEM will be scheduled after the conclusion of neoadjuvant therapy, and before definitive surgical management.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

assess the diagnostic accuracy
Accuracy of standardized uptake values will be analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. ROC curves will be constructed separately for FACBC PET, FACBC PEM and MR. The area under the curve will be used as a summary measure and compared using the standard nonparametric test [20]. We will also consider dichotomizing the uptake and present accuracy using sensitivity, specificity and predictive values. Dichotomized values will be compared using the McNemar test.
ability of FACBC PET and PEM to determine therapeutic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Patients with locally advanced IDC or ILC, requiring neoadjuvant therapy prior to definitive surgery, will undergo FACBC PET and PEM both before chemotherapy and after. Following definitive breast surgery, pathologic specimens will be analyzed to determine if FACBC imaging can predict pathologic treatment response.

Brief Summary
This study has been designed to help us determine if FACBC PET or PEM can accurately evaluate how far the breast cancer has spread in the breast. Also, to help determine if FACBC PET or PEM can accurately measure your response to chemotherapy.
