A Study to Assess Tissue Mechanical Properties as a Prognostic Biomarker of Breast Cancer using MR Elastography

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical properties of breast tissue on MRE (including stiffness, elasticity, viscosity, and volumetric stain) to find any correlation between these variables with breast density and background parenchymal enhancement, both of which are considered independent risk factors for breast carcinoma. We can also assess any suspicious lymph nodes noted on diagnostic MRI and correlate with stiffness values of the lymph nodes on MRI.

Elegibilidad para la participación

Los requisitos de elegibilidad de los participantes incluyen la edad, el sexo, el tipo y el estadio de la enfermedad, y los problemas de salud o tratamientos previos. Las pautas difieren de un estudio a otro e identifican quiénes pueden o no pueden participar. No hay garantía de que cada persona elegible que desee participar en un ensayo se inscribirá. Comunícate con el equipo del estudio para analizar la elegibilidad del estudio y la posible participación.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female patients older than 18 years.

Exclusion Criteria: 

  • Pregnant and lactating females will be excluded (we will correlate with urine test administered prior to their clinical MRI; no additional urine sample will be obtained for the elastography portion of the study).
  • Patients with implanted devices including aneurysm clips, pacemakers, coils, filters, and electronic pumps will be excluded.
  • Patients under the age of 18 will be excluded.
  • Patient without decision making capacity will be excluded.
  • Patients with breast implants will be excluded.
