About

The purpose of this study is to test the ability of a breast MRI biopsy to accurately diagnose a complete tumor response to the neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) that the patient just finished. Numerous studies have shown that MRI has the highest accuracy for diagnosing a complete tumor response. The investigator wants to see if in a certain group of women who's breast cancer is no longer visible on the post-treatment MRI that the biopsy specimens from a MRI guided biopsy will accurately diagnose a complete tumor response to treatment which may in the future make breast surgery unnecessary in some women.

Inclusion criteria

  • Women age 18 years or older
  • Confirmed histologic diagnosis of operable HER2 overexpressing (ER<10%, PR<10%, and HER2 2+ or FISH amplified) OR triple negative (ER<10%, PR<10%, and HER2 0/1+ or 2+/FISH not amplified) OR ER positive invasive ductal or invasive lobular breast cancer including MSKCC pathology confirmation
  • Operable breast cancer treated with NAC undergoing either breast conservation or total Mastectomy who have had a post-NAC clinical bilateral breast MRI demonstrating a complete imaging response, which is defined as no residual tumor enhancement.
  • No indication of distant metastases (M0)
  • Tumor site amenable to MRI guided biopsy as determined by the radiologist
  • Definitive surgery being performed at MSKCC within within 0-60 days of completing NAC
  • ECOG performance status score of 0 to ≤ 2 and or KPS performance status score of 80% to 100%
  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must not be pregnant.
  • Women must not be breastfeeding
  • Willing and able to provide informed consent and adhere to the study visit schedule and plan as specified in this protocol

Exclusion criteria

  • Medical history and concurrent disease:

    • Prior history of treated breast cancer
    • Any underlying medical or psychiatric conditions, which in the opinion of the investigator, will make performing the study intervention hazardous or obscure the interpretation of the results
  • Prohibited Treatments and/or Therapies:

    • Prior history of breast cancer surgery and/or radiotherapy.
