Study Description

Brief Summary:
A randomized screening trial to compare the diagnostic accuracy of screening for breast cancer with three-dimensional digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) plus two-dimensional full-field digital mammography (FFDM) versus FFDM alone.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Breast Cancer Device: Tomosynthesis Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
The Tomosynthesis Mammography Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST) LEAD-IN is being conducted to ensure that all Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group / American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ECOG/ACRIN) TMIST components are properly functional and to provide an opportunity for fine tuning before launching the full TMIST. The accrual target for TMIST LEAD-IN is 6354 participants (one tenth of the projected enrollment target for TMIST) at three lead-in study sites: 1. Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, 2. Vancouver (under the auspices of the Screening Mammography Programme of British Columbia) and 3. The Ottawa Hospital.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Tomosynthesis + FFDM
Women enrolled to DBT Arm will undergo manufacturer-defined DBT
 Device: Tomosynthesis
Three-dimensional imaging of both breasts in standard CC and MLO views
No Intervention: FFDM - Standard of Care for Screening
Women enrolled to the FFDM Arm will undergo bilateral digital mammogram with standard CC and MLO views acquired


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Diagnostic Accuracy of DBT vs FFDM - AUC under ROC comparison [ Time Frame: 3 year follow-up ]
    To compare the diagnostic accuracy using the area under the curve (AUC) score generated by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis of digital breast tomosynthesis plus full-field digital mammography (DBT) versus full-field digital mammography (FFDM) alone for breast cancer screening. The examinations will be interpreted by local Breast Imaging radiologists. Cancer status will be pathologically confirmed. The women would undergo three consecutive screening rounds in the assigned arm followed by one year of standard of care imaging follow-up.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Recall Rates [ Time Frame: 3 year ]
    To compare the recall rates due to abnormal screening examinations for DBT versus FFDM when used for breast cancer screening.

  2. Interval Cancers [ Time Frame: 3 year ]
    To compare the number of interval cancers missed with DBT versus FFDM use in breast cancer screening.

  3. Prevalence of Breast Cancer Subtypes [ Time Frame: 3 year ]
    To estimate the prevalence of breast cancer subtypes (Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2neu, Basal-like, Claudin-low) by DBT and FFDM, stratified on whether cancers were detected in screening or as interval cancers.

  4. Clinical Characteristics of Cancers [ Time Frame: 3 year ]
    To assess and compare clinical characteristics (e.g. stage, grade, ER, PR, and HER2status) of cancers detected from screening by DBT and FFDM. Approximately 75 genes will be assayed in tumors detected in each arm of the study to evaluate breast cancer molecular subtype.

  5. Reader Studies of variations of DBT vs FFDM - AUC under ROC comparison [ Time Frame: 4 year ]
    To assess different combinations of FFDM, tomosynthesis and synthesized FFDM images in reader studies to assist in determining the optimum balance between radiation exposure and technique. AUC of ROC curves will be used to compare combinations. A panel of radiologists will read the various combinations of images in random order to assess whether tomosynthesis with synthetic 2D images is as accurate as tomosynthesis with FFDM images. The latter will require more radiation exposure.

  6. Biomarker Correlation [ Time Frame: 2 year ]
    Biomarker correlation to characterize disease in the tumor and compare to the tissue immediately adjacent to it.
