Positron Emission Tomography Before Surgery in Evaluating Women With Primary or Recurrent Breast Cancer
A Pilot Study To Assess The Utility Of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (PET) In The Pre-Operative Evaluation Of Patients With Primary And Recurrent Breast Carcinoma

RATIONALE: Imaging procedures such as positron emission tomography (PET) may improve the ability to detect the extent of breast cancer.

PURPOSE: Diagnostic trial to study the effectiveness of PET to detect the extent of breast cancer in women who have primary or recurrent breast cancer.

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) as compared to conventional imaging in determining the extent of disease in women with primary or recurrent breast cancer.
  • Determine how often clinical management and operative intervention plans for patients are altered based on these FDG-PET scan findings.
  • Determine whether FDG-PET results in more accurate detection of disease in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive fludeoxyglucose F 18 IV. Approximately 1 hour later, patients undergo positron emission tomography imaging. Some patients may undergo a repeat scan in 4-6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients (50 with primary disease and 50 with recurrent disease) will be accrued for this study within 1-2 years.
