Scintigraphic Assessment of I- Transport in Metastatic Breast Cancer and Evaluation of I31I Ablative Therapy: (Part I) Radioiodide Imaging Study

Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Registration Number
NCT00185809
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine breast cancers that express the protein (NIS) that may be found in malignant breast tissues and to evaluate proteins found in blood and their relationship to NIS, to test whether iodide can be concentrated by breast cells to possibly treat some breast cancers with radioactive iodine, and to calculate the amount of radioactive iodine entering breast cancer cells, how long your cancer retains the agent as well as how much is taken up by other organs, particularly the thyroid gland.

Detailed Description

To demonstrate iodide uptake capacity of breast cancer metastases by imaging women with iodide radioisotope (123I) and calculating potential ablative dose of radioactive iodide (131I).
