Comparison of Diagnostic Performance of an Algorithm and a High Definition Classical Iterative Algorithm Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to 18Fluoro-deoxy-glucose (18FDG) in the Evaluation of Axillary Lymph Node Invasion of Breast Tumors (TEP-Sein)

September 7, 2012 updated by: Centre Francois Baclesse
The primary endpoint of this study is to show that this algorithm in high definition is superior to the classical algorithm in the diagnosis of lymph node metastases.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Performance of FDG-PET for the evaluation of nodal status
Time Frame: 3 years
Show that the algorithm of high-definition positron emission tomography (PET) to 18Fluoro-deoxy-glucose (18FDG) is greater than a classical algorithm in the diagnosis of lymph node metastases.
3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Information on lymph node status in patients with breast cancer.
Time Frame: 3 years
Show that scintigraphy performed on a FDG positron camera equipped with a reconstruction algorithm for high-definition can provide reliable information on lymph node status in patients with breast cancer and determine the minimum size of lymph node metastatic lesions.
