Brief Summary: RATIONALE Diagnostic procedures such as magnetic resonance imaging MRI may help doctors find CNS metastases and plan treatment

PURPOSE This randomized clinical trial is studying how well MRI finds CNS metastases in women with stage IV breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine survival without neurological symptoms due to CNS metastases in women with HER2neu-overexpressing stage IV breast cancer who undergo gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging MRI of the brain once every 4 months vs once every 12 months for early detection of CNS metastases

Secondary

Determine the total number of therapeutic procedures ie gamma-knife radiotherapy or surgery required for the treatment of brain metastases in these women
Determine the total number of hospitalization days required in these women
Determine the overall survival of these women
Evaluate a cross-platform manufacturer-independent MRI technique for diagnosis of brain metastases that could be used in future studies in the IRIS and ULB-Canceropôle networks
Compare 2D-SE vs 3D-GE thin sections methods for post-contrast brain imaging in these women

OUTLINE This is a prospective randomized study Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms

Arm I Patients undergo gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging MRI of the brain at baseline to exclude CNS involvement and then once every 4 months or earlier if symptoms possibly related to CNS involvement develop in the absence of the development of CNS metastases
Arm II Patients undergo gadolinium-enhanced MRI of the brain at baseline to exclude CNS involvement and then once every 12 months or earlier if symptoms possibly related to CNS involvement develop in the absence of the development of CNS metastases

Patients complete neurological symptoms questionnaires at baseline every 6 weeks during study intervention and at the completion of the study

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 96 patients will be accrued for this study
