Using a PET/CT Scan to Find Lobular Breast Cancer Cells Before Surgery for Stage I-IV Lobular Breast Cancer
[18F]Fluoroestradiol-PET/CT Imaging of Invasive Lobular Carcinoma Scientific Title
- What's involved?

<p class="seamTextPara"> You will receive the following: </p> <ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">PET/CT scan using (18F) FES tracer, 1 time</li></ul>
-
<ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive substance called a tracer. A tracer looks for and attaches to cancer cells.</li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Lobular breast cancer is a subtype of breast cancer. It is estimated that 10 to 15 percent of all breast cancers are lobular. </li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Standard of care PET/CT scans that use a FDG tracer generally do not find lobular breast cancer tumors as well as they find ductal breast cancer tumors and PET/CT scans are not usually given to people with stage I-II lobular breast cancer. </li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">This imaging trial will use a tracer called (18F)Fluoroestradiol (FES). Researchers believe this tracer is better at locating and attaching to lobular cancer cells than the standard of care tracer.</li></ul>
