Brief Summary
This Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) ADVANCE study is a large, observational pragmatic comparative effectiveness research study using high-quality, prospectively collected data from BCSC registries to generate evidence on how breast density should be integrated into decision making around breast cancer screening and preoperative diagnostic work-up. We will augment existing BCSC registry infrastructure with additional prospective data collection and collection of patient reported outcomes (PROs), CISNET modeling of long-term screening outcomes, and qualitative data from focus groups with women represented in two aims.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (10)
Screening Benefits: Rate of early stage invasive cancer detection (Aim 1)
Number of stage I or IIA cancers diagnosed within 1 year of a positive screen divided by total number of screens
Within one year after screen
Screening Failures: Interval or advanced breast cancer rate (Aim 1)
Number of invasive cancer cases within 1 year of a negative screen divided by total number of screens Number of advanced cancers (stage IIB or higher) within 1 year of a screen divided by total number of screens
Within one year after screen
Screening Harms: Recall rate (Aim 1)
Number of positive screens divided by total number of screens
Within one year after screen
Screening Harms: False-positive (FP) recall rate (Aim 1)
Number of positive screens without a cancer diagnosed within 1 year divided by total number of screens
Within one year after screen
Screening Harms: FP biopsy recommendation rate (Aim 1)
Number of screens with a biopsy recommendation and no cancer diagnosed within 1 year divided by total number of screens
Within one year after screen
Screening Harms: Other consequences (Aim 1)
Number of DCIS diagnoses within 1 year of a positive screen divided by total number of screens, reported overall and by grade
Within one year after screen
Patient Reported Outcomes (Aim 1)
Patient surveys targeted to determining outcomes of interest to patients
Measured within one year post-screening
Rates of additional breast cancers detected (Aim 2)
Number of women with contralateral breast cancer diagnosed within 6 months of initial diagnosis over total number of women
6 months after initial diagnosis
3-year rate of 2nd breast cancer events (Aim 2)
Rate of 2nd breast cancers diagnosed within 3 years of follow-up (starting 6 months after initial diagnosis) calculated separately for ipsilateral and contralateral cancers
3 years after initial diagnosis
Patient Reported Outcomes (Aim 2)
Patient surveys targeted to determining outcomes of interest to patients
Measured 6-18 months post-diagnosis
Secondary Outcomes (9)
Performance Measures: Sensitivity (Aim 1)
Within one year after screen
Performance Measures: Specificity (Aim 1)
Within one year after screen
Performance Measures: Positive predictive value (Aim 1)
Within one year after screen
Definitive surgery type (Aim 2)
6 months after initial diagnosis
Negative predictive value of work-up with MRI (Aim 2)
6 months after initial diagnosis
- +4 more secondary outcomes
Other Outcomes (3)
Modeled Long-Term Mortality Outcome: Breast cancers deaths averted (Aim 1)
From date of first screening examination until the date of death from any cause, up to 100 years of age
Modeled Long-Term Mortality Outcome: Life-years gained (Aim 1)
From date of first screening examination until the date of death from any cause, up to 100 years of age
Modeled Long-Term Mortality Outcome: Overdiagnosis (Aim 1)
From date of first screening examination until the date of death from any cause, up to 100 years of age
Study Arms (2)
Screening group
Women without a history of breast cancer undergoing screening digital mammography, screening digital breast tomosynthesis, or screening breast magnetic resonance imaging.
Women with breast cancer
Women diagnosed with stage 0-III breast cancer undergoing pre-operative work-up with diagnostic mammography alone or diagnostic mammography plus pre-operative breast magnetic resonance imaging.
Interventions
Screening with digital mammography plus digital breast tomosynthesis
Screening with digital mammography plus breast magnetic resonance imaging
Pre-operative diagnostic work-up with mammography alone
Pre-operative diagnostic work-up with mammography plus breast magnetic resonance imaging
Eligibility Criteria
This study will include women age 40-79 undergoing screening mammography (Aim 1) and women age ≥18 with a first breast cancer diagnosis (Aim 2). We will include women in the BCSC cohort with mammography from 2005-2017. BCSC participants are identified from seven BCSC breast imaging registries. The BCSC prospectively collects data during routine clinical practice through voluntary partnerships with radiology facilities. Women enter the BCSC cohort when they receive a breast-imaging exam at a participating facility.
You may qualify if:
- Women aged 40-79 undergoing screening mammography from 2010-2017 for comparisons with tomosynthesis and 2005-2017 for comparison with breast MRI at a facility that participates in one of six BCSC breast imaging registries
You may not qualify if:
- Exams performed on women with a history of breast cancer, mastectomy, or breast augmentation.
- Unilateral mammograms and mammograms performed within 9 months of a prior mammogram to avoid classifying diagnostic exams as screening
- Exams without complete cancer capture during the follow-up period
- Aim 1 Patient Reported Outcomes
- Women aged 40-74 years undergoing screening mammography, with or without supplemental screening with digital breast tomosynthesis or breast MRI, at selected BCSC facilities
- Women within 12 months of a digital screening mammogram with known breast density and no known breast cancer diagnosis
- For MRI subgroup, we will include women with a screening MRI within the prior 24 months
- Within strata defined by BCSC registry, breast density subgroup (dense vs. not dense), and race/ethnicity, women with supplemental screening with digital breast tomosynthesis or breast MRI will be matched to women without supplemental screening
- Aim 1 Focus Groups
- Women age 40-74 years undergoing screening mammography, with or without supplemental screening (defined as digital breast tomosynthesis or breast MRI)
- Women within 12 months post-most recent screening examination with known dense breasts from most recent screening mammogram and no known breast cancer diagnosis
- Women who are able to speak English and can travel to a nearby location for a discussion
- Subaim 1
- Radiologists interpreting digital mammography and/or tomosynthesis for at least one year from 2010-2017 at a facility that participates in the BCSC
- Exams performed on women with a history of breast cancer, mastectomy, or breast augmentation
- +19 more criteria
