Computed Tomography (CT) Reconstruction for Axillary Lymph Node Structure (CTREP)

September 4, 2019 updated by: Tao OUYANG, Peking University

Computed Tomography (CT) Reconstruction for Axillary Lymph Node Structure: a Prospective Observational Study Evaluating Response in Axillary Lymph Nodes of Breast Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled observational study.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Conditions

Detailed Description

The negative predictive value of ultrasound for lymph node with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is low, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or PET/CT did not significantly improve specificity to axillary lymph node. The aim of this study is to determine performance of computed tomography (CT) reconstruction on evaluation of lymph node status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
invasive breast cancer
Patients with invasive breast cancer who underwent computed tomography (CT) reconstruction of axillary lymph node for assessment of lymph node response after NAC are eligible for this study. Axillary lymph node metastasis is confirmed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) or core needle biopsy (CNB) at initial diagnosis.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sensitivity, specificity, positive-predictive value (PPV) and negative-predictive value (NPV) of Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction for axillary lymph node status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Time Frame: within 6 weeks after obtaining the post-surgery pathological results
Sensitivity, specificity, positive-predictive value (PPV) and negative-predictive value (NPV) of Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction for axillary lymph node status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be assessed.
within 6 weeks after obtaining the post-surgery pathological results

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rreceiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis
Time Frame: within 6 weeks after obtaining the post-surgery pathological results
The diagnostic performance of computed tomography (CT) reconstruction for the evaluation of ALN after NAC was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The diagnostic accuracy was estimated by calculating the area under the ROC curve.
within 6 weeks after obtaining the post-surgery pathological results
