Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Hormone receptor status is an important biomarker in breast cancer influencing management strategy. Majority (~70-75%) of breast cancers are reported to be ER+. The mortality of breast cancer correlates with disease extent. The presence of distant metastases is associated with poor survival outcomes. The median five-year survival rate in ER+ mBC is less than 30%, suggesting the need for newer diagnostic and therapeutic techniques to improve patient outcomes in this population.
Identification of specific tumor-associated antigens and receptors has led to a paradigm shift in the fields of molecular imaging and targeted cancer therapy. Immunohistochemistry studies have reported SSTR expression in breast cancer tissue samples with higher rates of expression in ER+ breast cancer. There is a dearth of published literature evaluating the role of SSTR-targeted PET imaging in ER+ breast cancer patients. This phase II trial will determine if SSTR-targeted imaging with 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT can visualize malignancy in patients with ER+ mBC. The results of this study will also guide the feasibility of SSTR-targeted radionuclide therapy in progressive ER+ mBC patients having limited therapeutic options.
