Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Sensitivity (SE) of FES PET/MRI and axillary ultrasound (US) to detect macrometastatic (tumor deposit>2mm) axillary lymph nodes with the goal of demonstrating the superiority of FES PET/MRI over US.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Sensitivity to detect macrometastatic axillary lymph nodes defined as tumor deposit >2 mm; comparison of sensitivity (SE) between FES PET/MRI and axillary ultrasound (US) to demonstrate superiority of FES PET/MRI over US."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and overall accuracy of FES PET/MRI.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Diagnostic performance metrics (specificity, PPV, NPV, overall accuracy) of FES PET/MRI versus reference standard."}

Results from FES PET/MRI will be compared with standard imaging in terms of sensitivity and number of lesions with FES uptake versus previously known lesions from all preoperative exams (mammography, ultrasound or any exam performed as preoperative routine).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Compare sensitivity and count of lesions with FES uptake against lesions identified by standard preoperative imaging (mammography, ultrasound, other routine exams)."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Correlation between recurrence score and FES PET/MRI findings and parameters will be investigated.
