Contrast Enhancement Mammography vs MRI for the Surveillance of Women at High Risk of Breast Cancer: Con-trust Randomized Controlled Trial

Conditions

Summary

Women at high risk of breast cancer (BC) should undergo annual magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital mammography (DM) from at least ages 35 to 60. While MRI is an expensive and scarce resource, contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is a less costly and time-consuming alternative that could be used to screen these women instead of MRI. The Con-TRUST trial aims to randomize 1400 women in 10 centers to test whether CEM can be used instead of MRI+DM for BC detection in high-risk women (\>5% 5-year BC risk). The study will compare efficacy in reducing the incidence of BC in women who tested negative in the first screening and cumulative recall rates over 2 screening rounds. All women will be followed up for 2.5 years. Secondary outcomes include screening performance, safety, and women\'s compliance. The trial results will be integrated with the international literature and proposed for the development of recommendations as part of the adolopment of European guidelines in Italy.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial is comparing two imaging methods — contrast-enhanced mammography and MRI — for monitoring women who are at high risk of developing breast cancer. You may be eligible if... - You are a woman between 35 and 60 years old - You are considered high risk for breast cancer (estimated 5-year risk of 5% or higher based on validated risk models), which may be due to family history, genetic factors, or prior chest radiation therapy You may NOT be eligible if... - You have had breast cancer before - You are pregnant - You have had a double mastectomy - You have a psychiatric or other condition that prevents you from following the study plan or attending follow-ups for at least 2.5 years - You are unable to give informed consent Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTContrast Enhancement Mammography

In the experimental arm women will receive two rounds of CEM surveillance. After 2 years, all women who were randomly assigned to receive either MRI or CEM will undergo the same exit test. This exit test is the standard test used for the surveillance of high-risk non mutated women at each participating center.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTmagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital mammography (DM)

women will receive two rounds of MRI+DM surveillance. After 2 years, all women who were randomly assigned to receive either MRI or CEM will undergo the same exit test. This exit test is the standard test used for the surveillance of high-risk nonmutated women at each participating center.
