Brief Summary
An imaging method has been developed that uses near infrared light as an adjunct to ultrasound for better diagnosis and for monitoring tumor response. This study will use a new, non-invasive way to evaluate breast lumps using a low power light source \& ultrasound to see if breast lumps are benign or cancerous. This study will also evaluate if this new technique might be useful in assessing response to chemotherapy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Hemoglobin concentration
The deoxygenated/oxygenated hemoglobin and total hemoglobin concentration are the measured imaging parameters and biopsy results will be used as the 'gold' standard to compare imaging findings. Hemoglobin concentration is measured in micromolar/liter.
5 years
Study Arms (3)
NIR/US Diagnostic Group
EXPERIMENTALThese patients will include women who have breast lumps/lesions visible by ultrasound and are prescribed follow up with an ultrasound-guided biopsy at the UCHC Cancer Center for evaluation and diagnosis of actual/suspected breast abnormalities.
NIR/US Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Group
EXPERIMENTALThese patients will include women who have breast lumps/lesions visible by ultrasound and have been diagnosed with breast cancers and will undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy. These patients may be identified from the diagnostic group or after initial diagnosis. Patients will only be enrolled to one of the two groups.
NIR/US Process Validation Group
OTHERThis group will contain data from about five women who did not have ultrasound visible lumps on the day of the planned biopsy. Data from the NIR/US scan will be used to validate instrument measurements.
Interventions
Patients receiving an ultrasound-guided biopsy will participate in one study visit on the day of the biopsy. The NIR/US scan will be completed immediately prior to the biopsy procedure and takes about 5-10 minutes to perform.
Patients may have the NIR/US scan performed at the time of their initial ultrasound-guided biopsy. In addition, patients in this group may also have NIR/US performed according the schedule in Table 1. The number of NIR/US study visits for these subjects will vary from 1-11 depending on the subject's treatment regimen. The expected duration of study participation for these patients is approximately 6 months.
Patients who present with visible lumps at initial ultrasound but do not have ultrasound visible lumps on the day of the biopsy procedure will not require a biopsy. NIR/US scan will be performed. Data from the NIR/US scan will be used to validate instrument measurements.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Women aged 18 years and older who have breast lumps or abnormalities (actual or suspected) are eligible for the study.
- Women and members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this study.
- Diagnostic Group: These patients will include women who have breast lumps/lesions visible by ultrasound and are prescribed follow up with an ultrasound-guided biopsy at the UCHC Cancer Center for evaluation and diagnosis of actual/suspected breast abnormalities.
- Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Group: These patients will include women who have breast lumps/lesions visible by ultrasound and have been diagnosed with breast cancers and will undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy. These patients may be identified from the diagnostic group or after initial diagnosis. Patients will only be enrolled to one of the two groups.
- Process Validation Group: This group will contain data from about five women who did not have ultrasound visible lumps on the day of the planned biopsy. Data from the NIR/US scan will be used to validate instrument measurements.
