Triple-negative invasive breast cancer on dynamic contrast-enhanced and diffusion-weighted MR imaging: comparison with other breast cancer subtypes

Abstract: • Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) lack oestrogen/progesterone receptors and HER2 expression/amplification. • TNBCs are larger, better defined and more necrotic than conventional cancers. • On MRI, necrosis yields high T2-weighted signal intensity and ADCs. • High ADC values can be useful in diagnosing TNBC.

“…Kim and colleagues did not find a relation between HER2 status and initial slope, peak enhancement, time to peak enhancement, or washout ratio (76). Lee and colleagues found no relation between initial slope and HER2 status (79), and Youk and colleagues found no relation between early-phase percentage enhancement and HER2 status (92). Again following Figure 4.…”

“…Several reports have compared diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in addition to the morphological characteristics on MRI with various pathological findings and biomarkers of breast cancer [6][7][8][9][10][11] . The ADC reflects the microenvironment of the tissue structures and is therefore related to the malignant features, such as cellularity, of the tumor.…”

“…Indeed, the impact of multimodal MRI-including screening protocols on patient outcome of high-risk women is under consideration (24,35,36). Furthermore, multimodal imaging to screen high-risk women can currently exploit the imaging phenotypes of familial breast cancer (37), with peculiar MRI characteristics of TNBCs (38,39).…”
