No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the optimal, lowest dose of radioactive tracer required for Positron Emission Mammography (PEM), and the accuracy and reliability of PEM in pre-surgical evaluations for patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer anticipating breast-conserving surgery but identified to have a second unsuspected breast cancer by MRI.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Positron Emission Mammography (PEM)

Phase 1 of the study will involve imaging the breast with cancer up to 3 times over 2 hours using one half (1/2) of the standard dose of the radioactive tracer, F18FDG, for PEM imaging. If this reduced dose is equivalent to the standard dose then one quarter (1/4) dose will be tested to find the lowest effective radiation dose of tracer to see breast cancer. Phase 2 of the study will involve imaging of both breasts several times over a shorter duration using the lowest effective dose of tracer identified in the first part of the study. This will allow us to examine the reliability of PEM to identify a second unsuspected abnormality in either breast. Patients will be offered biopsy by ultrasound, MRI or PEM as clinically appropriate of lesions suspected of being cancer prior to final surgical planning.
