Trial Information

Breast MRI Screening in Women Treated With Mediastinal Irradiation for Hodgkin's Disease


- The screening breast MRI and mammography will be performed 6 months or longer after the
last mammogram. For pre-menopausal women, the screening will be performed during the
second week of the menstrual cycle to reduce cycle-related breast changes. As much as
possible, the breast MRI and mammogram are to be performed on the same day.

- On the day of the breast imaging studies, the patient will also be asked to fill out a
baseline breast health questionnaire, which includes questions on time since radiation
therapy, prior screening history, history of prior benign breast biopsies, menopausal
status, prior hormonal therapy use, etc.

- In patients with suspicious findings or findings highly suggestive of malignancy, the
abnormal findings will be reviewed with the patient and recommendations will be made
for a biopsy.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Female patients treated with radiation therapy to the chest area for Hodgkin's
disease

- Age between 12 and 35 at initial treatment

- Eight years or longer after initial treatment

- Pre-approval from the participant's insurance company for the breast imaging studies

Exclusion Criteria:

- Pregnant or lactating women

- Post Bilateral mastectomy

metallic objects in body e.g. metallic clips, bullets, shrapnel or buckshots.
