Summary
This study tested whether a special PET/MRI scan using a tracer called FFNP can accurately measure progesterone receptors in invasive breast cancer. Twenty-one women with breast tumors at least 1 cm in size took part. The goal was to see if the scan results match the standard lab test done on biopsy tissue, which could lead to a less invasive way to assess hormone receptor status.
