Vascular Supply Identification, Lesion Extension and Search for Tumor Similarity at a Distance by VTM in Breast Cancer
Sponsor: Galzu Institute of Research, Teaching, Science and Applied Technology
Summary
When we talk about early identification, we are talking about an ALREADY EXISTING INJURY, triggering a change in the patient's quality of life and a projection of future costs for the health system. INNOVATIVE ASPECT: While screening mammography identifies an existing lesion, VTM could: Make an early diagnosis before the formation of a visible or palpable tumor mass; Check the metabolic activity in suspicious lesions identified by other diagnostic methods; Demarcate tumor range and tumor similarity from a distance in breast cancer. Regarding the Risk x Benefit:There are no medications incorporated, associated or administered by the equipment; There is no ionizing radiation incorporated or delivered by the equipment; There are no contraindications for the use of the equipment by the patient (Non-ionizing infrared radiation, without contrast or contact); Audience destined to operate the equipment: Physician / Radiologist with training Therefore, the research in question is of great relevance for such a debilitating health problem for the patient and for the health system.

VTM examination and breast biopsy
VTM examination performed by a radiologist, at the MART (Metabolic Activity in Real-Time) station, using the SaMD Mart 2.0, according to the inspection protocol to identify breast alterations and/or suspicious images to be biopsied for validation by genetic tests and histology / immunohistochemistry.
