Study Overview

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to apply Whole-body DW imaging alongside the routine management of patients requiring systemic therapy for metastatic breast cancer to compare the time to progression of individual liver metastases within and between patients following stable disease or partial response to palliative systemic therapy for breast cancer.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Progression rate of liver metastases

Time Frame: 3 months

Patients will be monitored by routine CT scans after 3 cycles of cytotoxic/biological therapy or after 3 months of endocrine therapy

Secondary Outcomes

  • Progression rate of skeletal metastases(3 months)
  • Patient acceptability of WB-DWI assessed from questionnaires provided between WB-DWI scans and quantified using a 5-point Likert scale(3 months)
  • Global and local lesion Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) distributions of WB-DWI scans within individual patient(3 months)
  • Comparison of patient acceptability to whole-body CT(3 months)
