Imaging and Tumor Mark Tests to Monitor Metastatic HR Positive, HER2 Negative Breast Cancer

Randomized Non-Inferiority Trial Comparing Overall Survival of Patients Monitored With Serum Tumor Marker Directed Disease Monitoring (STMDDM) Versus Usual Care in Patients With Metastatic Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer (SWOG-S1703)

Purpose: To study if blood tests that look for tumor markers are as good as or better than imaging with PET and/or CT scans (the current standard of care) to determine if a tumor is growing.

Who is this for?: People with metastatic (stage IV) hormone positive (ER+ and/or PR+), HER2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer who are planning to have first line treatment for metastatic disease or have started treatment within the past month, and have at least one elevated tumor marker.

Using MRIs to Screen for Brain Metastases in Advanced Breast Cancer

Screening Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Managed With First/Second Line Chemotherapy or Inflammatory Breast Cancer Managed With Definitive Intent: A Prospective Study

Purpose: To study if using MRIs to screen for brain metastases (breast cancer that has spread to the brain) is safe and finds brain metastases earlier than the standard of care (no screening).

Who is this for?: People with advanced (some stage III) or metastatic (stage IV) breast cancer who will be starting their first or second chemotherapy for advanced disease. View full eligibility criteria

<p class="seamTextPara"> You will be assigned to 1 of 3 groups depending upon your cancer subtype: </p> <p class="seamTextPara"> <i class="seamTextEmphasis">Group 1: Triple negative</i> </p> <ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Brain MRI, every 6 months for 2 years</li> </ul> <p class="seamTextPara"> <i class="seamTextEmphasis">Group 2: Inflammatory</i> </p> <ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Brain MRI, every 6 months for 2 years</li> </ul> <p class="seamTextPara"> <i class="seamTextEmphasis">Group 3: Hormone positive or HER2 positive</i> </p> <p class="seamTextPara"> People in Group 3 will be randomly assigned to receiving screening or no screening </p> <p class="seamTextPara"> <i class="seamTextEmphasis">Screening group</i> </p> <ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Brain MRI, every 6 months for 2 years</li> </ul> <p class="seamTextPara"> <i class="seamTextEmphasis">No screening group</i> </p> <ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">No brain MRIs</li></ul>

MRI-Based Imaging Technique to Distinguish Recurrent Brain Metastases from Radiation Damage

Treatment Response Assessment Maps (TRAMs) in the Delineation of Radiation Necrosis From Tumor Progression After Stereotactic Radiation in Patients With Brain Metastases: A Prospective Study

Purpose: To study whether Treatment Response Assessment Maps, a brain imaging technique, can help distinguish between a metastatic recurrence and tissue damage from prior radiation.

Who is this for?: People with metastatic (stage IV) breast cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Participants must have had a metastatic recurrence at least 4 months after radiation to the same site in the brain and planning to undergo surgery. View full eligibility criteria
