The goal of this multi-centre, prospective study is to assess the frequency of asymptomatic brain metastasis in patients with stage II or III Triple Negative or HER2 positive breast cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What proportion of patients with stage II or III Triple Negative or HER2 positive breast cancer have asymptomatic brain metastases identified on a screening contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (or computed tomography when Magnetic resonance is not possible) of the brain? 2. How do patients feel about undergoing brain imaging to screen for asymptomatic Brain metastasis? 3. What clinical and tissue-based biomarkers are associated with asymptomatic detection of Brain metastasis? Participants will undergo a brain imaging, collect one blood sample to perform ctDNA analysis, and fill the Testing Morbidities Index (TMI) after imaging is done. Procedures must take place within one year of initial diagnosis, either prior to or after completion of (neo)-adjuvant systemic therapy.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
