Breast Cancer Screening Based on Individual Risk Factors and Comparing the Effectiveness of 3D to 2D Mammography
Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST) Scientific Title
Purpose
To study if risk-based screening for breast cancer is as safe and effective as age-based screening and if (3D) mammography is better than (2D) mammography at finding early-stage tumors.
Who is this for?
Women, age 45 to 74, who have never been diagnosed with DCIS or breast cancer. You must not have had a screening mammogram within the last 11 months

People with advanced (some stage III) or metastatic (stage IV) breast cancer who will be starting their first or second chemotherapy for advanced disease.

Detection of Cancer Cells During Lumpectomy in Women Who Received Therapy Before Surgery
Feasibility Study to Evaluate Performance of the LUM Imaging System for Intraoperative Detection of Residual Tumor in Patients With Breast Cancer Receiving Neoadjuvant Therapy Scientific Title
Purpose
To study the safety and effectiveness of using the LUM Imaging System during breast conserving surgery (lumpectomy) to identify any remaining cancer cells in the tissue around where the tumor was removed.
Who is this for?
Women with DCIS or stage I, stage II or stage III breast cancer who will have a lumpectomy (breast conserving surgery) after receiving treatment.

<p class="seamTextPara"> You will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups and receive the following: </p> <p class="seamTextPara"> <i class="seamTextEmphasis">Group 1: LUM Imaging System to see if cancer cells remain</i> </p> <ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">LUM015, by IV, 2 to 6 hours prior to surgery</li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">LUM imaging to decide if more breast tissue should be removed during surgery</li> </ul> <p class="seamTextPara"> <i class="seamTextEmphasis">Group 2: Standard Care to see if cancer cells remain</i> </p> <ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">LUM015, by IV, 2 to 6 hours prior to surgery</li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Standard care to decide if more breast tissue should be removed during surgery</li></ul>

<ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">The LUM Imaging System uses a dye, called LUM015, that is injected into your body before surgery.</li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">The LUM015 dye then attaches to cancer cells in breast tissue. This can help the surgeon determine if cancer cells remain in the tumor bed after the DCIS or tumor has been removed. If cancer cells remain, your surgeon will remove more tissue.</li></ul>
