Which Patients With Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Benefit From Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging?

Objective The aim of this study was to identify the effectiveness and selective applications preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by investigating clinicopathologic factors index tumor with or without false lesions on MRI. Summary background data Preoperative MRI is commonly performed in patients newly diagnosed breast cancer, but its clinical significance unclear. Methods A total 103 cancer who had undergone ultrasound followed mastectomy were included retrospective investigation pathologic, clinical, findings. Results showed 29 false-positive 57 patients, 5 false-negative 69 true-positive patients. More found more ultrasound, small-sized tumors early-stage cancer. sensitivity 96.5% 92.3% (P = 0.119), respectively, positive predictive value them 71.5% 72.5% 0.828), respectively. Conclusions useful have large-sized advanced cancers fewer ultrasound.
