Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may improve the ability to detect cancer in the unaffected breast of women recently diagnosed with unilateral breast cancer.

PURPOSE: Diagnostic trial to determine the effectiveness of MRI in evaluating the unaffected breast of women recently diagnosed with unilateral breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the diagnostic yield of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating the contralateral breast of women with a recent unilateral diagnosis of breast cancer and a negative contralateral mammogram and clinical breast exam.
* Determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value for both call backs for additional imaging and biopsy recommendations, and receiver operating characteristic curves of MRI in evaluating these patients.
* Determine the effect of the following patient-related factors: age (50 years old and over vs less than 50 years old), breast parenchymal density (fatty vs non fatty breast), and tumor histology (invasive lobular vs invasive ductal, invasive vs in situ) on the performance of MRI (cancer yield, sensitivity, specificity, and PPV).

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive gadopentetate dimeglumine IV and then undergo magnetic resonance imaging of the contralateral breast.

Patients are followed at 12-18 and 24-30 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,000 patients will be accrued for this study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

MRI Evaluation of Contralateral Breast

The cohort is a distinct population of women at high risk for breast carcinoma: women with a recent (within 60 days) personal diagnosis of breast cancer who will have MRI to evaluate the contralateral breast.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MRI

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Breast contralateral to the breast diagnosed with cancer was scanned prior to initiation of chemotherapy and within 90 days of a negative mammogram of the study breast. A recent (within 90 days) negative or benign mammogram (defined by final BI RADS category 1 or 2) and negative or benign clinical breast exam of the study breast were required for entry into the study.
