Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Evaluating the Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Contrast Enhanced Mammography After MagTrace® Use

Study Description

Brief Summary: Rationale: MagTrace® will be implemented as standard of care for sentinel lymph node biopsy, since it has several advantages compared to a radioactive technique. However, MagTrace® is known to interfere with MRI during follow-up imaging when using 2 mL. No data is available for patients who received 1 mL of MagTrace®, as is described in our current protocol. A contrast enhanced mammography (CEM) could be an alternative for MRI if it still shows artefacts. Objective: The primary objective in this trial is to evaluate the use of MRI and contrast enhanced mammography after using MagTrace® to perform a sentinel node biopsy. Study design: Prospective trial in an outpatient clinic setting. Study population: Patients who were included in the previous MagTrace study will be asked to participate in this subsequent trial. Study procedure: Participants will undergo MRI and CEM as standard 1-year follow-up. Since the MagTrace study started in August 2021 and finished in February 2022, this trial will start August 2022 to February 2023. Main study parameters/endpoints: To evaluate the use of MRI and CEM, the following primary endpoints will be assessed: Visibility and size of artefacts undergoing MRI and CEM and its consequences of the quality for image assessment. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Since MagTrace® will be implemented as standard localisation technique for breast conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy in Zuyderland MC, the information obtained from this trial is essential for the follow-up planning of all breast cancer patients. Therefore, the burden for the patients (undergoing extra imaging) will be in proportion to the added value of this trial.
