Magnetic Resonance Thermal Image Guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Ductal Breast Carcinoma in Situ, Invasive Ductal Breast Carcinoma, Stage IA Breast Cancer, Stage IB Breast Cancer

In brief

This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance thermal image guided laser interstitial thermal therapy in treating patients with breast cancer. Magnetic resonance thermal image guided laser interstitial thermal therapy may be able to kill tumor cells by heating up the tumor cells without affecting the surrounding tissue

Who can join

Age: any. Sex: female. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Postmenopausal state
• Histological diagnosis of breast invasive ductal carcinoma with receptor profiles obtained
• MRI visible breast lesion
• Unifocal cancer, less than 1.5 cm in maximum diameter (clinical stage T1), with no evidence of extensive in situ cancer surrounding the main tumor; the eligibility will be determined by the MR imaging appearance of the tumor; if the tumor (proven invasive ductal carcinoma) is a unifocal mass without additional enhancement, it will be judged eligible; however, if the tumor is associated with additional enhancement and/or a satellite focus, it will not judged ineligible, as these are signs of additional in situ or invasive cancer
• Clinical stage N0 (no metastatic axillary lymph node on physical examination or imaging work-up)
• Ability to give informed consent

You may not qualify if…

• Previous surgery or radiation for the ipsilateral breast cancer
• Presence of any condition (e.g., metal implant, shrapnel) not compatible with MRI
• Tumor located less than 1 cm from the skin or the pectoralis muscle

Where it is running

• University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center — Chicago, Illinois, United States
