Study Summary

The study will assess whether changes in total choline concentration \[tCho\] during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) are predictive of pathologic complete response (pCR) in patients with HER2 negative breast cancer (HNBC) appropriate for NAC, and compare these findings with dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). The objective is to assess the predictive value of changes in the concentration and spatial extent of tCho within the tumor during NAC.

Primary Outcome

In this study changes in total choline concentration \[tCho\] during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) will be evaluated by performing a high-speed magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) at baseline prior to first cycle NAC, after first cycle NAC, and prior to second cycle NAC.
