Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Women Receiving Chemotherapy for Stage III Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may help determine the effectiveness of chemotherapy in killing breast cancer and allow doctors to plan more effective treatment. PURPOSE: Diagnostic trial to study the effectiveness of MRI in monitoring tumor response in women who are receiving chemotherapy for stage III breast cancer.

ACRIN 6657 eligibility criteria match that of CALGB Correlative Science trial 150007. Patients with histologically-documented tumors per CALGB criteria that are at least 3 cm who choose to undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be eligible to participate in the Correlative Science and Imaging companion trials (CALGB 150007/ACRIN 6657). The therapeutic regimen will consist of AC followed by a taxane for patients enrolled under the original trial protocol, and will consist of a taxane alone (Type 1) or taxane followed by AC (Type 1 followed by Type 2) for patients enrolled as part of the protocol extension.

1. Inclusion Criteria Specific to the ACRIN 6657 MRI Study 1.1 IRB approval/Signed informed consent 1.2 Patients must have a calculated creatinine clearance of \> 30 mL/min (modified Cockcroft and Gault formula) based on a serum creatinine level obtained within 28 days of registration in order to participate.

   Creatinine Clearance for Males: (\[140-age (years)\] X weight (kg)/(serum creatinine X 72) Creatinine Clearance for Females: Creatinine Clearance (male) X 0.85
2. Exclusion Criteria Specific to the ACRIN 6657 MRI Study 2.1 Pregnancy 2.2 Ferromagnetic prostheses
