A Prospective Study to Evaluate FDG-PET, Breast MRI, and Breast Ultrasonography in Monitoring Tumour Responses in Patients With Locally Advanced Breast Cancer (LABC) Undergoing Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (PETLAB)
A Prospective Study to Evaluate the Role of 2-[18F]Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)-Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Breast Ultrasonography in Monitoring Tumour Responses in Patients With Locally Advanced Breast Cancer Undergoing Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Detailní popis
Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is usually treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery and radiation. At present, monitoring of tumour responses to chemotherapy is primarily carried out using physical examination at the beginning of each chemotherapy cycle. Differentiating viable tumour tissue from inflammation or fibrotic scar tissue can be difficult. There is a growing body of evidence that newer imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be better at determining whether or not the tumour is actually shrinking. The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of PET, MRI and ultrasound in evaluating tumour responses to chemotherapy in patients with LABC and compare this with physical examination, which is the current standard of care.
Two of the objectives of this study are to 1) determine whether PET, MRI or ultrasound have a higher sensitivity/specificity than physical examination alone in determining which LABC patients achieve a complete pathologic response following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 2) to investigate whether these additional investigations might lead to changes in clinical management by identifying non-responders earlier than with physical examination alone.
A prospective cohort study design will be conducted. Patients with LABC who receive chemotherapy will undergo physical examination, PET, MRI, and ultrasound at baseline, midway, and at the completion of chemotherapy. Approximately 100 patients will be accrued over a 5-year period.
This study will give clinicians further insight into the usefulness of PET, MRI, and ultrasound in monitoring treatment responses in patients with LABC. This could potentially lead to changes in clinical management of these patients.

Popis
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologic proof of breast cancer (invasive ductal or lobular carcinoma - not breast sarcoma or lymphoma)
- Patients having a clinical diagnosis of locally advanced breast cancer (T3 or T4, or N2 according to TNM classification) including inflammatory breast cancer.
- Patients must be able to undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2 sufficient to undergo chemotherapy
Exclusion Criteria:
- Previously treated cancer other than nonmelanotic skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, unless disease-free for 5 years or greater.
- Evidence of metastatic disease (found on chest X-ray, liver ultrasound or bone scan).
- Previous chemotherapy or hormonal therapy for breast cancer.
- Active infection or other significant illnesses which could hamper their ability to tolerate chemotherapy
- Significant concurrent medical problems (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes, active cardiac disease, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) making the patient unfit for surgery.
- Any condition that could interfere with their ability to provide informed consent such as dementia or severe cognitive impairment.
- Pregnant or lactating females (e.g. positive serum B-hCG pregnancy test).
- Unable to lie supine for imaging with PET.
- Inadequate hematologic, renal and liver function as measured by CBC (WBC < 4.0 x 109, Hb < 100 g/L, plt count < 100 x 109), and abnormal hepatic transaminases (AST, ALT, GGT, alkaline phosphatase > 2x normal), elevated total bilirubin, and elevated serum creatinine (Cr > 110 micromol/L).
- Any contraindication to undergoing MRI or PET.
