  Purpose

This pilot clinical trial studies light-scattering spectroscopy in finding disease in patients with stage II-III breast cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as light-scattering spectroscopy, may help find and diagnose breast cancer


Condition Intervention
Healthy, no Evidence of Disease
Stage II Breast Cancer
Stage IIIA Breast Cancer
Stage IIIB Breast Cancer
Stage IIIC Breast Cancer
 Procedure: light-scattering spectroscopy

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Official Title: Light-Scattering Spectroscopy for the Detection of Stage II-III Breast Cancer: A Pilot Study

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Accurate classifications of women with or without breast cancer [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Exact binomial probabilities will be used.

  • Utility of optical markers in distinguishing cancer involved breasts from normal breasts [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Multivariate analyses will be used.


Estimated Enrollment: 20
Study Start Date: November 2012
Estimated Study Completion Date: November 2014
Estimated Primary Completion Date: November 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Diagnostic (light-scattering spectroscopy)
Patients undergo light-scattering spectroscopy of the breast in addition to standard of care as it relates to screening for breast cancer or treatment of breast cancer.
 Procedure: light-scattering spectroscopy
Undergo light-scattering spectroscopy

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate whether light-scattering spectroscopy can reliably distinguish between two subject groups: those with clinical stage II or stage III breast cancer and those without breast cancer.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo light-scattering spectroscopy of the breast in addition to standard of care as it relates to screening for breast cancer or treatment of breast cancer.
