Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Women at Increased Risk for Developing Breast Carcinoma
Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) will be able to detect smaller/earlier breast cancers as well as breast MRI can.

COMPLETED
Sex
Female
Target Recruitment
1000
Inclusion Criteria
  • Women considered at increased risk for developing breast carcinoma (those with a lifetime risk of >15%due to family history, genetic predisposition, prior radiation therapy to the chest, prior biopsy showing a high risk lesion, or personal history of breast cancer) that are being screened with breast MRI.
  • Women who have a screening digital mammogram on the day of CESM or within 365 days prior
Exclusion Criteria
  • Women under 21.
  • Pregnant or possibly pregnant.
  • Women who have a contraindication to the intravenous use of iodinated - contrast agent (i.e., allergy to iodinated contrastor severely impaired renal function with a creatinine level > or = to 1.3).
  • Women with breast implants.
  • Women with pacemakers.
  • Women with aneurysm clips that don't allow for MRI.
  • Women too claustrophobic to undergo MRI.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
compare the sensitivity and specificity CESM1 year

CESM to that of breast MRI in a population of women who are being screened because they are at increased risk for developing breast cancer. For this purpose a positive CESM test will be defined as a score of 4 or 5. We will use the existing MRI BIRADS system to score CESM images based on the characteristics of individual lesions and increased enhancement compared to the background. A positive MRI test will be defined by a BIRADs score of 4 or 5.
