CTREP: Computed Tomography (CT) Reconstruction for Axillary Lymph Node Structure
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled observational study.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|

Detailed Description
The negative predictive value of ultrasound for lymph node with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is low, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or PET/CT did not significantly improve specificity to axillary lymph node. The aim of this study is to determine performance of computed tomography (CT) reconstruction on evaluation of lymph node status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
invasive breast cancer Patients with invasive breast cancer who underwent computed tomography (CT) reconstruction of axillary lymph node for assessment of lymph node response after NAC are eligible for this study. Axillary lymph node metastasis is confirmed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) or core needle biopsy (CNB) at initial diagnosis. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Sensitivity, specificity, positive-predictive value (PPV) and negative-predictive value (NPV) of Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction for axillary lymph node status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. [within 6 weeks after obtaining the post-surgery pathological results]
Sensitivity, specificity, positive-predictive value (PPV) and negative-predictive value (NPV) of Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction for axillary lymph node status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be assessed.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Rreceiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis [within 6 weeks after obtaining the post-surgery pathological results]
The diagnostic performance of computed tomography (CT) reconstruction for the evaluation of ALN after NAC was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The diagnostic accuracy was estimated by calculating the area under the ROC curve.
