Brief summary

The aim of this recruitment plan (ADAPT-BX) is to collect image and technical data on both digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and full-field digital mammography (FFDM), along with other subject data including histology results from biopsy specimen examination and cancer classification data from initially asymptomatic women referred for biopsy after recall from screening and diagnostic work-up. These data will be included in a subsequent and prospectively planned pooled analysis described in a separate protocol (ADAPT-BIE) examining superiority of DBT to FFDM for breast cancer diagnosis and other clinical performance measures.

Detailed description

ADAPT program consists of 2 recruitment plans (ADAPT-SCR and ADAPT-BX) followed by an off-line read of the images and data collected (ADAPT-BIE). This study involves the comparison of two devices that can identify abnormalities in routine breast screening and diagnostic mammography. Mammography is usually done with full-field digital mammography (FFDM), which takes flat, two-dimensional X-ray images of the breast. Doctors use the two-dimensional images to look for cancers and other abnormal tissue. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the accuracy of full-field digital mammography devices and a new mammography device called digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). DBT is similar to full-field digital mammography, but can also move around the breast to get X-ray images from different angles, which provides a three-dimensional view that doctors can use to look for cancers and abnormal tissue. Subjects will be recruited from an initially asymptomatic population that have been referred for clinically indicated breast biopsy based on suspicious breast imaging results. Subjects will undergo a DBT mammogram prior to biopsy. If FFDM was not performed within 30 days, subjects will also undergo FFDM prior to biopsy. Results of biopsy(ies) and histopathology, including lesion characteristics, will be recorded and considered as truth if positive for cancer status. Subjects with negative or benign histological findings will be followed for approximately one year (10-16 months) by FFDM and any additional standard of care practice.

Inclusion criteria

* Women aged 30 years or older (≥30 years old); * Initially asymptomatic women that underwent routine screening FFDM, breast ultrasound (U/S), breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or DBT, followed by diagnostic work-up showing one of more abnormalities and referred for breast biopsy within of 30 days before study entry; * Are able and willing to comply with study procedures; * Have signed and dated the informed consent form; * Documented as non-pregnant based on the investigator's medical judgment and in consideration of local clinical practice standards for evidence of non-pregnancy.

Exclusion criteria

* Have been previously included in this study; * Have undergone diagnostic or surgical intervention(s) or procedure(s) on either breast, including mastectomy and cytopunction, before study-related imaging; * Have breasts too large to be adequately positioned on 24 x 31 centimeter (cm) FFDM digital receptor without anatomical cut off during a DBT examination (or FFDM, if required); * Have participated in (within the prior 30 days), another trial of an investigational product expected to interfere with study procedures or outcomes; * Have breast implant(s); * Have reconstructed breast(s).
