Education and Outreach for Breast Imaging and Breast Cancer Patients
Abstract
During the past year, we obtained lRB approval from the DOD to begin data collection in December, 2001. However, the practice of the Breast Health Center, where the study was planned, had changed. Because randomization of patients according to core biopsy scheduling was no longer, we had a series of meetings with the Breast Health Center and Siteman Cancer Center administrators. At these discussions, we decided to revise the protocol. The revised protocol is submitted. Patients will still be randomized into different groups based on the informed consent process, but the timing of the core biopsy would not be manipulated. We still plan to collect observational data on this variable, however. Currently, we are seeking lRB approval of the revised protocol. Once this protocol is approved by the lRB's of both Washington University and DOD, we can begin data collection. The revision of the protocol has led to significant delays in the second phase of this project.
