PET/MRI Breast Imaging in Assessing Estrogen Receptor Status in Patients with Ductal Breast Carcinoma In Situ

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase II trial compares a new imaging method for measuring estrogen receptor level (expression) in breast cancer with the standard method of measuring estrogen receptor expression by staining cancer tissue obtained from biopsy or surgery. This new method is using combined positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) scans. Studying how well PET/MRI works in assessing estrogen receptor expression may help doctors to develop and implement PET/MRI for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring treatment response in patients diagnosed with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer.
