Study Summary

This phase II trial studies F-18 16 alpha-fluoroestradiol (FES) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in predicting response to endocrine therapy in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. FES is a radioactive form of the hormone estrogen and may "light up" where cancer is in the body. Diagnostic procedures using FES, such as FES PET/CT, may help measure the FES and help doctors predict how well the cancer will respond to treatment.

Primary Outcome

FES-PET results will be assessed as positive or negative by quantitative or qualitative criteria. FES SUVmax \< 1.5 will be defined as quantitatively negative test result while one or more sites of active disease will be qualitatively negative test result. The reference standard is patient's tumor response categorized by either CB or PD at 6 months. As part of the preliminary analysis, rates of FES uptake negative results overall and next by tumor response status will be calculated. FES-PET test
