Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with newly diagnosed HER2 positive or suspicious positive breast tumors who are undergoing neoadjuvant therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant hepatic or renal dysfunction, those who are pregnant, or individuals with claustrophobia may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the predictive and prognostic value of F-18 labeled HER2 Affibody PET imaging in patients with breast cancer who have received neoadjuvant therapy. By evaluating HER2 expression through advanced imaging techniques, the study seeks to provide insights into treatment responses and outcomes. The approach involves administering a molecular PET radionuclide to visualize HER2 expression levels in tumors, which may help tailor future treatment strategies for patients. The study is conducted at Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute and involves collaboration with other medical institutions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the ability to predict treatment responses in breast cancer patients, leading to more personalized and effective therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing PET imaging for HER2 expression in breast cancer have shown promising results, indicating potential for this approach.
