简要总结
Purpose: To assess the utility of combined, simultaneous positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), collectively called PET-MR, in assessing response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical treatment decisions for operable breast cancers.
Participants: Adult patients with operable breast cancer that are being treated at UNC with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by potentially curative surgical resection.
Procedures (methods): Patients who are being treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection and for whom pre- and post-treatment MR imaging is part of planned treatment will undergo additional pre-treatment and post-treatment PET/MR. The response to treatment will be assessed at post-treatment by evaluating change in tumor size from MRI, change in response to dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI, and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) avidity from PET. Patients will then undergo surgery. Their pathology will be reviewed for treatment effect as assessed by residual cancer burden (RCB) score. Patients will be followed and assessed for recurrence.
详细描述
Investigators propose that the changes indicated by PET/MR imaging from pre-treatment to post-treatment time points will accurately predict the patient's response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, providing useful prognostic and surgical-planning information. The study will enroll patients with operable breast cancer being treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by potentially curative surgical resection. The standard of care for these patients would not normally include PET imaging but may include MR imaging. Patients in the study will receive combined PET/MR imaging prior to treatment and following treatment. Then, patients will receive curative intent surgery and be followed in the usual fashion and assessed for local and/or distant recurrent disease. The pathology report will be reviewed for therapy treatment effect as assessed by Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) score. Quantitative measures from PET and MRI will be computed: the change in PET tumor-mean standardized uptake value (SUV) and tumor size as assessed by MRI, from pre- to post-treatment. The image-based quantitative measures will be correlated with the pathology outcomes to evaluate predictability of the image measures for RCB score. Patients will be followed with the intent of further correlating image measures with clinical outcomes.

入选标准
- •Age ≥ 18 years of age (no upper age limit)
- •Signed, IRB-approved written informed consent
- •Must have clinical T1-3, N0-3, M0 disease. All phenotypes are acceptable..
- •Must have surgically curable disease as evaluated by the UNC Multidisciplinary Tumor Board.
- •Must have pre- and post-treatment MRI imaging as part of the treatment plan.
- •Must be able to meet size restrictions for the PET-MR scanner: chest depth and abdominal depth less than 27 cm (approximately the smallest 55% of women will meet this), as measured on imaging or with physical template.
- •Must be in acceptable health to undergo chemotherapy and curative intent surgery as assessed by Multidisciplinary Tumor Board.

排除标准
- •Inability to tolerate MRI (e.g., inability to lie flat for >1 hour)
- •Presence of pacemaker, intracranial aneurysm clip, bladder stimulator, cochlear implant or metal near eyes or near pelvis that would create excessive imaging artifact
- •Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus
- •Patient receiving neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (due to low likelihood of complete response)
- •Pregnancy or lactating female
- •Substance abuse, medical, psychological, or social conditions that may interfere with the patient's participation in the study
- •Evidence of distant disease on physical exam or initial imaging
- •Medical conditions precluding chemotherapy or curative intent surgery

结局指标
主要结局
Change in PET Activity Estimates From Pre-treatment to Post-treatment
时间窗: Time Frame: Changes in image measures will be assessed from baseline scans, prior to therapy, to post-treatment scans, taken six months after baseline. Pathology data will be obtained post-surgery.
Primary endpoint is the determination of the potential for PET activity estimates to predict RCB score in comparison with that of dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI. Treatment response will be determined on final pathological evaluation of the resected specimens by way of the RCB score.
次要结局
- Performance of Metrics Combining Multiple Features From PET and MR in Prediction of Response to Therapy(Changes in image measures will be assessed from baseline scans, prior to therapy, to post-treatment scans, taken six months after baseline. Pathology data will be obtained post-surgery.)
