NCT03949946

Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate if lipid composition mapping using magnetic resonance imaging could improve early and accurate cancer detection in genetic mutation carriers at high risk of breast cancer. It is hypothesised that there is a significant difference in the extent of spatial variation in lipid composition in breast from MRI between genetic mutation carriers and patients with breast cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Saturated fatty acids in breasts of patients and high-risk group

    Saturated fatty acids (SFA) from tumour border and fatty tissue in patients and fibroglandular and fatty tissue in high-risk group SFA will be measured in percentage (%)

    Baseline

  • Monounsaturated fatty acids in breasts of patients and high-risk group

    Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) from tumour border and fatty tissue in patients and fibroglandular and fatty tissue in high-risk group MUFA will be measured in percentage (%)

    Baseline

  • Polyunsaturated fatty acids in breasts of patients and high-risk group

    Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from tumour border and fatty tissue in patients and fibroglandular and fatty tissue in high-risk group PUFA will be measured in percentage (%)

    Baseline

Study Arms (2)

High-risk

Female participants confirmed to be BRCA1/2 or TP53 gene carriers

Procedure: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Patients

Female participants confirmed to have invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast

Procedure: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Interventions

MRI scan uses radio waves in a magnetic field to obtain images of the breast. It is non-invasive and participants will not be exposed to harmful radiation. An image contrast agent will be used to enhance image clarity. Participants will be scanned lying face-down on a specially-designed bed and ear protectors will be provided to screen out background noise.

Study Population

Female participants confirmed to be BRCA1/2 and TP53 gene carriers and females participants confirmed to have invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast.

You may qualify if:

  • female over 18 years old
  • BRCA1/2 or TP53 gene carriers (high-risk group)
  • invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast (patient group)
  • not having any metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes)
  • not on any long term medications that may affect lipid metabolism (e.g., statins)

You may not qualify if:

  • female under 18 years old
  • male
  • affected by metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes)
  • on long term medications that affect lipid metabolism (e.g., statins)
  • contraindicated for MR investigations (poor renal function and metal implants)
  • concurrent cancer in other sites
  • concurrent hormone treatment, chemotherapy or underwent surgery
  • non-English speakers
