Radiomic Markers for Breast Cancer Metastasis and Treatment Response Using MRI

Completed
Conditions
Invasive Breast Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03709186
Lead Sponsor
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
Brief Summary

The primary aim of the study is to identify radiomic features as biomarkers of metastatic progression following primary therapy.

Detailed Description

The study aims to evaluate radiomic markers in breast tumors to evaluate metastatic risk based on radiomic features following primary therapy. The investigators aim to analyze images at various time intervals before, during and after primary treatments using two advanced imaging techniques (DCE-MRI \& DWI-MRI).

  2. Subjects must be able and willing to comply with the safety procedures during the scanning period;
  3. Subjects must be men and women age 18+
  4. Biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of invasive breast cancer; (ER+/-, PR+/-, HER2+/-).

Exclusion Criteria
    1. Subjects with a past medical history of abnormalities, significant injury, or medical or surgical procedures (e.g. Silicone/saline implants) involving either breast, exclusive of the lesion at issue.

    2. Subjects with any dermatologic abnormalities (including tattoos, open sores, or breached skin) involving either breast 3. Subjects with a current or past medical history of connective tissue disease 4. Subjects who are pregnant or lactating 5. Subjects with an implanted electronic device such as a cardiac pacemaker, defibrillator, or neurological stimulator 6. Subjects, who, in the opinion of the investigator or clinical research coordinator, may not otherwise be appropriate for inclusion into the study, such as significant anxiety, history of musculoskeletal disease which may predispose them to discomfort during the imaging/scanning period.

    3. Allergies to any contrast agent administered to this study.
