About this study

Use of positron emission tomography (PET) in determination of functional tumour volume can provide usable information for radiotherapy to define the irradiated volume.

To determine the best tumour volume measure method, the investigators have chosen as model the breast cancer which allows us to study a stationary or moving organ by the patient position and belonging to a primary surgery.

The used methodology is based on lesion volume measure in preoperative time, obtained with PET, and on the measure of specimen volume by the anatomic laboratory after surgery.

This study's main objective is to compare this two measure of tumour size and secondarily to compare TEP with or without respiratory gating.

The PET-scan is achieved with FDG, under his French permission marketing, and acquire in 3 times:

A whole body acquisition in supine position, follow by a centered tumour acquisition with respiratory gating, then an acquisition in prone position to immobilise the lesion.

This study is monocentric and descriptive. It provides to include 30 patients in 1 year.

Read the detailed description

The use of positron emission tomography (PET) in determination of functional tumour volume may pose two major problems especially for the exact delineation of tumour contours:

  • Respiratory movements, when the tumour is thoracic, may induce an overestimation
  • The PET's low spatial resolution, linked to the emission of photons

The usual method to define tumour contours result of three types of delineation usually used: the visual contouring, the segmentation based on an activity threshold fixed, and the segmentation with adaptive thresholding.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma, run by Centre Henri Becquerel at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2012. 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 France. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

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 18 Jun 2012.
