Clinical Outcome of Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Detected Additional Lesions in Breast Cancer Patients

Abstract: PurposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcome of additional breast lesions identified with breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in breast cancer patients.MethodsA total of 153 patients who underwent breast MRI between July 2006 and March 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Thirty-three patients (21.6&) were recommended for second-look ultrasound (US) for further characterization of additional lesions detected on breast MRI and these patients constituted our study population.ResultsAss… Show more

“…In both the institutes, breast MRI was performed according to the guidelines defined by the EUSOMA working group [ 15 ], on 1.5-T magnet (Magentom Avanto, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany in both institutes), using vendor-supplied dedicated bilateral breast coils (four channels). Examinations were performed with patient in the prone position, among the 7th and 14th day of the menstrual cycle for pre-menopausal women.…”

“…Data on patient ages were provided by all but two studies (26,27), with mean ages ranging between 40 and 52 years within a minimum of 21 years of age and a maximum of 90 years of age (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(26)(27)(28). Inclusion criteria were suspicious MR imaging lesions in seven (41.2%) studies (14,(19)(20)(21)(22)24,26,29) and suspicious or unclear MR imaging findings in eight (47.1%) studies (14)(15)(16)(17)23,25,30). Two studies (11.8%) included only patients with unclear MR imaging findings (27,28).…”

“…The number of observers reading MR images and second-look US scans was not provided in four studies (15,17,23,26). Observer experience with US was given in only six studies (17,19,21,22,25,29), and observer experience with MR imaging was stated in another six studies (14,19,21,25,29,30). In five studies, the same observer interpreted MR images and second-look US scans (14,16,21,28,29), while in one study, the same observer performed both examinations whenever possible, although rates or numbers were not provided (24).…”

“…The US appearance and category of each lesion were characterized according to the fifth edition of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) ( 22 ). Meanwhile, the different lesion types were classified as mass and non-mass (ductal dilatation, complex cystic lesions, or low echo area) ( 23 ). Specific features noted on US examination included the presence or absence of calcifications, and their maximum sizes were measured.…”
