Positron Emission Tomography Before Surgery in Evaluating Women With Primary or Recurrent Breast Cancer

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: positron emission tomography
Procedure: radionuclide imaging
Radiation: fludeoxyglucose F 18
Registration Number
NCT00039286
Lead Sponsor
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Imaging procedures such as positron emission tomography (PET) may improve the ability to detect the extent of breast cancer.

PURPOSE: Diagnostic trial to study the effectiveness of PET to detect the extent of breast cancer in women who have primary or recurrent breast cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) as compared to conventional imaging in determining the extent of disease in women with primary or recurrent breast cancer.

* Determine how often clinical management and operative intervention plans for patients are altered based on these FDG-PET scan findings.

* Determine whether FDG-PET results in more accurate detection of disease in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive fludeoxyglucose F 18 IV. Approximately 1 hour later, patients undergo positron emission tomography imaging. Some patients may undergo a repeat scan in 4-6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: (50 with primary disease and 50 with recurrent disease) will be accrued for this study within 1-2 years.
