breast ductal carcinoma in situ: morphologic and kinetic mri findings
نویسندگان
چکیده
conclusion non-mass-like lesions, lesions with focal or segmental distribution, with a “plateau” enhancement curve type were the most frequent findings of dcis lesions on mri. background adequate diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (dcis) could lead to efficacious treatment. due to the fact that dcis lesions can progress to invasive carcinomas and that the sensitivity of the standard examination – mammography – is between 70 and 80%, use of a more sensitive diagnostic tool was needed. in detection of dcis, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ce-mri) has the sensitivity up to 96%. objectives morphological features and kinetic parameters were evaluated to define the most regular morphological, kinetic and morpho-kinetic patterns on mri assessment of breast ductal carcinoma in situ (dcis). patients and methods we retrospectively assessed eighteen patients with 23 histologically confirmed lesions (mean age, 52.4 ± 10.5 years). all patients were clinically and mammographically examined prior to mri examination. results dcis appeared most frequently as non-mass-like lesions (12 lesions, 52.17%). the differences in the frequency of lesion types were statistically significant (p<0.05). the following morphological patterns were detected: a: no specific morphologic features, b: linear/branching enhancement, c: focal mass-like enhancement, d: segmental enhancement, e: segmental enhancement in triangular shape, f: diffuse enhancement, g: regional heterogeneous enhancement in one quadrant not conforming to duct distribution and h: dotted or granular type of enhancement with patchy distribution. the difference in the frequency of the proposed patterns was statistically significant (p<0.05). there were eight lesions with mass enhancement, and six with segmental lesions: regional and triangular. there was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of enhancement curve types (p>0.05). there was no significant difference in the frequency of morpho-kinetic patterns.

BACKGROUND Adequate diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) could lead to efficacious treatment. Due to the fact that DCIS lesions can progress to invasive carcinomas and that the sensitivity of the standard examination - mammography - is between 70 and 80%, use of a more sensitive diagnostic tool was needed.

متن کاملBreast Ductal Carcinoma In Situ
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is becoming one of the most important diseases diagnosed in preventive medicine screening. The current age-adjusted incidence rate of DCIS is 32.5 per 100,000 women. For women 50–64 years of age, the incidence is approximately 88 per 100,000. Currently, for every 4 diagnoses of invasive breast cancer, there is 1 diagnosis of DCIS. Risk of DCIS is ra...

متن کاملDuctal Carcinoma In Situ of the Breast
Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is detected more often since the advent of mammography. A standardized pathologic staging and grading system does not exist, but nuclear grade is assuming greater importance. The history of DCIS is long, and its treatment is a controversial issue in breast cancer today. Methods: Data have been reviewed regarding the role of HER-2 expression as a progn...

BACKGROUND Breast ductal cancer in situ (DCIS) can recur or progress to invasive ductal cancer (IDC), and the interim stage include DCIS with microinvasion (DCIS-Mi). In this article, we attempt to study the study the differences of clinicopathological features, imaging data, and immunohistochemical-based subtypes among DCIS, DCIS-Mi, and IDC. METHODS In this retrospective study, we attempt t...
