Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This clinical trial studies fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in predicting response to treatment in patients with breast cancer. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures done before, during, and after chemotherapy may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

- Diagnostic (FDG PET and DCE-MRI)
- description
- Patients undergo FDG PET and DCE-MRI 1-2 weeks prior to chemotherapy initiation, between 1-12 weeks after initiation of the first course of chemotherapy, and after the completion of chemotherapy (within 4 weeks prior to surgery).

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Number of Participants With Favorable Pathologic Response at Surgery
- timeFrame
- At time of surgery
- description
- The primary clinical endpoint is dichotomous (yes/no) - Has patient achieved favorable microscopic pathologic response at surgery? This favorable pathologic response is defined as: 1. No evidence of microscopic invasive tumor at the primary tumor site and in regional axillary lymph nodes = Residual Cancer Burden class 0 (RCB 0) 2. Minimal invasive residual disease at primary tumor site and/or in regional axillary lymph nodes = Residual Cancer Burden class I (RCB I)
