Effect of Weight Loss on Breast Density Using Digital Mammography and MRI in Women Who Are At Increased Risk For Breast Cancer

Terminated
Conditions
Healthy, no Evidence of Disease
Interventions
Procedure: magnetic resonance imaging
Procedure: digital mammography
Procedure: conventional surgery
Registration Number
NCT01259076
Lead Sponsor
Northwestern University
Brief Summary

Diagnostic procedures, such as digital mammography and MRI, may help measure how weight loss affects breast density in women who are at increased risk for breast cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if weight loss in patients undergoing Roux en Y gastric bypass procedures has any effect on breast density as measured by mammography and breast MRI. OUTLINE: GROUP I: Participants undergo mammography and MRI at baseline and 1 year. Participants also undergo gastric bypass surgery. GROUP II: Participants undergo mammography and MRI at baseline and 1 year. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 year.
