Test predicts if chemotherapy will work.(scintigraphic imaging as a test for chemotherapy resistance)(Brief Article)
2002 JUN 20 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Resistance to chemotherapy is a major cause of treatment failure in patients with breast cancer. A study reported in the June 2002 issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine found that scintigraphic imaging with [superscript]99mTc-sestamibi accurately predicted which breast tumors would be chemoresistant.
The study was able to predict 100% of the time which patients would respond to chemotherapy, and 83% of the time which patients would not respond. Physicians in this phase II clinical trial studied 30 patients with untreated locally advanced breast cancer for whom a cycle of chemotherapy followed by surgery was planned. The patients received an injection of [superscript]99mTc-sestamibi and were scanned before treatment and again before surgery.
Those who were likely to respond had a low wash-out rate, or WOR ( <45%) of the [superscript]99mTc-sestamibi. That means a higher amount of it remained in the body after injection, and showed up in the scan. Those unlikely to respond had a higher WOR (>45%). The ...
