Brief summary

Some breast cancer cells make a protein called Human Epidermal Growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Patients with HER2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer receive medicine that attacks HER2, which helps these patients live longer. Some HER2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer patients also benefit from medicines that attack HER2, but we do not know why or which patients will benefit. This study uses a new imaging method, HER2-targeted PET/CT, to identify patients that may benefit from medicines that attack HER2. This is experimental.

HER2-targeted PET/CT
Pts with confirmed HER2- breast cancer will undergo HER2-targeted PET/CT. 89Zr-trastuzumab is a novel radiotracer which allows excellent visualization of HER2+ lesions. 89Zr-pertuzumab is a novel radiotracer which may allow for specific visualization of HER2+ lesions. PET/CT imaging with these novel radiotracers will allow evaluation of all identifiable malignant lesions, rather than evaluation of only single lesions by biopsy.

Percentage of Patients With HER2- Primary Breast Cancer Who Develop Imagable HER2+ Metastases

Both SUVmax and SUVpeak will be recorded for lesions, and SUVmax and SUVaverage will be recorded for background measurements. Only those foci qualitatively scored conspicuously positive by both readers (scores of 4 or 5) will be considered as positive.

Time frame: 3 years

Population: Thirteen percent of women with HER2-negative primary malignancy has HER2-positive metastatic disease detected by HER2-targeted imaging.
