No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this pilot study is to determine the effectiveness of Fluorothymidine Positron Emission Tomography (FLT PET) and Blood Oxygen Level Dependent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (BOLD MRI) in assessing tumour response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NA CT) in women with locally advanced breast cancer.

Conditions

  • Locally Advanced Breast Cancer (LABC)

Interventions

PROCEDURE

FLT PET and BOLD MRI scan

Eligible consenting patients with LABC receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NA CT) will undergo FLT PET, BOLD MRI, and clinical examination of the involved breast including ipsilateral axillary and supraclavicular nodes to assess the treatment response to chemotherapy (CT). The imaging studies will be performed at baseline and after the first cycle of NA CT.
