About this trial

To explore the cognitive impairment caused by chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in premenopausal breast cancer patients and to find biomarkers with early predictive effect on this cognitive impairment by using multimodal integrated PET/MRI technology combined with psychobehavioral technology.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients with primary stage I-II breast cancer.

Premenopausal women (menopausal status determined by National Comprehensive Cancer Network Breast Cancer Guidelines criteria).

No treatment other than surgery has been started (if neoadjuvant chemotherapy is required before surgery, enroll before chemotherapy starts).

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score of 0-1 points.

Disqualifiers

Central nervous system (CNS) disease, history of malignancy, chronic loss of consciousness, head trauma, and any disease affecting cognitive function.

Current or former epilepsy, dementia, or learning disabilities.

Past psychiatric history.

Past history of malignancy.

Trial population

Premenopausal patients with stage I-II breast cancer.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change of gray matter volume of whole brain

Gray matter volume will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging (high resolution T1-weighted image)

Time frame
Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
2

Change of white matter integrity of whole brain.

Fractional anisotropy, axial diffusivity and radial diffusivity will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging (diffusion tensor imaging)

Time frame
Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
3

Change of metabolism of glucose in the brain

Accumulation of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose(18F-FDG) will be analyzed by time-related Positron emission tomography

Time frame
Baseline, 6,18,30 months later
4

Change of functional connectivity of whole brain

Functional connectivity will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging based on blood oxygen level dependence

Time frame
Baseline, 6,18,30 months later

Secondary outcomes

1

Change of the concentration of serum biomarkers.

The concentration of GFAP with pg/mL, S-100B with pg/mL,IL-6 with pg/mL, IL-8 with pg/mL, IL-10 with pg/mL, IL-1β with pg/mL, TNF-α with pg/mL, UCH-L1 with pg/mL, NSE with pg/mL, T-Tau with pg/mL, P-Tau with pg/mL, NFL with pg/mL, BDNF with pg/mL, and VEGF with pg/mL
