  Purpose

The purpose of the study is:

  • to assess the potential benefits of 18F-[FDG] PET/CT and PET/MRI for operable breast cancer in order to define the size and location of the primary tumor, as well as axillary, supraclavicular and internal mammary lymph nodes.
  • to apply the imaging results to the simulation and the radiation treatment planning and partial breast for 3-D radiation treatment and partial breast irradiation with intensity modulated radiation treatment (IMRT).

Condition
Breast Neoplasm

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Drawing of target volumes [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Compare the drawing of target volumes using the PET/CT, PET/IRM information, or without these imaging informations.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Correlate the FDG PET/CT PET/IRM with surgical pathology findings [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Compare the pre-operative imaging information with histopathological description of the resected primary tumor, and with the extent of lymph node involvement.


Estimated Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: November 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

Pre-operative FDG PET/CT, and in option PET/IRM, are intended for women with histologically confirmed operable clinically node-negative breast cancer, in whom breast conserving and post-operative radiotherapy are planned.
