Efficacy of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis + Standard 2- Dimensional Mammography in Breast Cancer

An interventional study of 2-dimensional mammogram and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in Breast Cancer, sponsored by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to female participants aged 25 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-06-27.

Study summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if a 3-dimensional mammogram (DBT) may provide additional information to evaluate the extent of disease and additional findings that would aid in staging a new breast cancer patient. This would impact surgical planning and improve patient outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective:

The primary objective of the study is to measure the frequency with which DBT alters the surgical plan to mastectomy versus lumpectomy. Only positive findings, like an additional site of cancer or DCIS, will be taken into account when estimating the frequency of changes to surgical management.

Secondary objectives:

  1. To measure the frequency and nature of additional findings like atypical pathology (Atypical ductal/ lobular hyperplasia, papilloma, Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) , requiring surgical intervention).
  2. To identify variables on 2D (e.g. dense breasts, architectural distortions, non calcified masses) that might predict which patients would benefit from DBT.
  3. To measure the proportion of patients undergoing additional work-up following the DBT, and the subset of these patients with benign findings (i.e. False Positives).

Study arms

  • Experimental
    3-dimensional tomosynthesis mammogram

    The patients assigned a Breast imaging-reporting and data system (BIRADS) 5 category at the time of diagnosis and all new diagnosed breast cancer patients, will undergo a separate 2-D plus DBT in addition to the standard 2-D mammogram

    Device: 2-dimensional mammogram · Device: digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT)

Interventions

  • Device2-dimensional mammogram

    This is standard of care for breast cancer diagnosis. The new breast cancer patients will be scheduled for the mammogram after diagnosis at the time of surgical appointment. The radiologist reviewing the tomosynthesis images will be separate and blinded from the radiologist who reviewed the initial 2-D mammogram.

  • Devicedigital breast tomosynthesis (DBT)

    The radiation dose from this/these procedure(s) will be no more than 0.4mSv for a bi-lateral breast tomosynthesis. The new breast cancer patients will be scheduled for the mammogram after diagnosis at the time of surgical appointment. The radiologist reviewing the tomosynthesis images will be separate and blinded from the radiologist who reviewed the initial 2-D mammogram.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants for Which DBT Altered Surgical Plan

    Only positive findings, like an additional site of cancer or atypical pathology like Atypical ductal/ lobular hyperplasia, papilloma, DCIS/LCIS (findings requiring surgical intervention), will be taken into account when estimating the frequency of changes to surgical management

    Time frame: At completion of 3-Dimensional mammogram (1 day)

Other outcomes

  1. Variables on 2-Dimensional Mammogram That Might Predict Which Patients Would Benefit From DBT

    Time frame: At completion of 3-Dimensional mammogram (1 day)

  2. The Proportion of Patients Undergoing Additional Work-up Following the DBT

    Time frame: At completion of 3-Dimensional mammogram (1 day)

  3. Number of Patients Undergoing Additional Work-up Following the DBT With Benign Findings

    Time frame: At completion of 3-Dimensional mammogram (1 day)
