Summary

This trial will assess if a novel imaging device combining PET & DBT can aid in the diagnosis of breast cancer for those 18+. Up to 20 evaluable subjects will take part and receive FES-BPET/DBT imaging, but results won't direct treatment decisions.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with newly diagnosed estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer, featuring at least one lesion that's 1.0 cm or larger. It's not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, those unable to undergo imaging procedures, taking tamoxifen/raloxifene, or with conditions compromising safety/participation.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new imaging technique combining Breast Positron Emission Tomography (BPET) and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) after an [18F]-Fluoroestradiol (FES) injection in patients. This observational study won't influence treatment decisions; up to 20 subjects will be imaged once.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an observational imaging study using BPET/DBT and FES injection, traditional medication side effects are not the focus. However, there may be risks associated with the imaging process itself or reactions to the FES tracer used.
