Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants must have histological evidence of breast cancer of any stage
- Participants must be diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer
- Participants should be willing and able to have both PET-CT scans
- Participants should be eligible for and plan to undergo systemic chemotherapy and should be seen by a oncologist prior to beginning the study
- Participants should have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
- Participants must sign a study specific consent form prior to registration
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients have been diagnosed with other malignancy
- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection or significant inflammation at treatment site or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or whose lab values do not meet the criteria above are excluded

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
18F-fluorothymidine PET
Arm Description
Patients receive fluorothymidine F-18 IV over 1 minute and undergo PET scan over 60 minutes at least 10 days prior to systemic chemotherapy, and at least 10 days after first and second cycles of systemic chemotherapy.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Change in 18F-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) maximal standardized uptake value (SUV) as response to therapy
The response to therapy would be determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1) by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT). The change of SUVmax between the responders and non responders on 18F-FLT and 18F-FDG would be compared.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Compare Positron Emission Tomography Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORCT) response by 18F-FLT-PET and 18F-FDG-PET for the prediction of anatomic treatment response
We will use both EORTC and PERCIST criteria to compare the 18F-FLT-PET and 18F-FDG-PET metabolic response for the predictions of anatomic treatment response. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and comparison were performed to evaluate the performance of 18F-FLT-PET and 18F-FDG-PET in predicting the anatomic treatment response, both with EORTC and PERCIST criteria.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
We aim to investigate the value of 3'-deoxy-3'-18F-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for early prediction of treatment response and survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer after salvage therapy.
Detailed Description
Patients with metastatic breast cancer were enrolled and received PET/CT using 18F-FLT and 18F-FDG at baseline, after 1st cycle , and after 2nd cycle of systemic chemotherapy. The standard reference for treatment response was classified according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria for contrast-enhanced CT (CE-CT) after 3 months of systemic chemotherapy. The metabolic response on PET was assessed according to PET response criteria in solid tumors (PERCIST) criteria and was correlated to the treatment response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).
