Trial summary

Objectives: The objective of this single-arm, prospective study is to perform annual mammography and MRI breast cancer screening in women who underwent mantle-field irradiation between 1970-1995 at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in order to compare the ability of MRI and standard mammography to identify breast cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Breast MRI Screening in High-Risk Women After Mantle Radiation Therapy for Lymphoma

Objectives:

The objective of this single-arm, prospective study is to perform annual mammography and MRI breast cancer screening in women who underwent mantle-field irradiation between 1970-1995 at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in order to compare the ability of MRI and standard mammography to identify breast cancer. In addition, we will determine whether the combination of breast MRI and mammography identifies smaller, earlier-stage tumors, which would lead to improved cure rates. We will also take the opportunity to determine the incidence and stage of breast cancer in this high-risk cohort.

Read the detailed description

Breast MRIs:

Breast MRIs have been reported to have higher sensitivity than mammograms for detecting early breast cancers, particularly in dense breasts where mammograms are not as effective. Although breast MRIs may add important information not provided by mammograms, the MRI must be used selectively. This is because the MRI is very sensitive and may show a false positive test (a test that shows cancer when there is none there).

Study Procedures:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, the following procedures will be performed 1 time a year.

  • You will have a breast exam.
  • You will have a mammogram. A mammogram is a breast x-ray used to detect breast cancer and look for abnormalities in the breast.
  • You will have an MRI of your breasts. For the MRI, you will lay on your stomach while a large donut-shaped scanner takes images of your breasts.

If any abnormality is found, you will have routine follow-up procedures performed. Routine follow-up may include additional imaging scans or biopsies. These will follow the standard of care, and the information will be collected and stored in your medical record.

Length of Study:

You will be on study for 20 years, with annual check-ups with breast imaging studies at M. D. Anderson. You will be taken off study if there is a change in your health that will not allow a breast mammogram or MRI, such as becoming pregnant.

This is an investigational study.

Up to 223 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of breast cancer detected with addition of breast MRI (time frame: Once a year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Nov 2011.
