چکیده

conclusions our study revealed that patients with the diagnosis of breast cancer have greater bpe in comparison with control group. the results may be indicative for higher probability of developing breast cancer in patients with higher bpe. therefore, ce-mri could be a useful tool for breast cancer risk assessment. objectives background parenchymal enhancement (bpe) on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ce-mri) corresponds to hormonally active breast fibroglandular tissue. several studi.es have reported increased odds of breast cancer in patients with marked bpe. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate bpe in contralateral breast of biopsy proven breast cancer patients and comparison of the results with control group. methods in a case-control study, ce-mri of the contralateral breasts of 40 biopsy-proven breast cancer patients and 40 patients with biopsy- proven benign breast lesions, were retrospectively reviewed by an experienced radiologist and degree of bpe, and pattern of enhancement were determined, finally, bpe was compared between case and control groups using chi square test. pearson correlation test was used to determine association between fgt amount and bpe. p value < 0.05 was considered significant. results in the case group, 4, 17, 14, and 5 patients had minimal, mild, moderate, and marked bpe, respectively. in the control group, 12, 24, .and 4 participants had minimal, mild, and moderate bpe, respectively. bpe was significantly higher in the case group in comparison with the control group (p value < 0.05). patients with invasive carcinoma had significantly higher bpe in comparison with the patients with carcinoma in situ. (p value < 0.05) there was a moderate correlation (r = 0.4, p value < 0.05) between fgt amount and degree of bpe. in the case group, 3, 26, and 11 patients had mass-non mass, mass, and non mass pattern of enhancement, respectively. in the control group, 25, antl15 participants had mass, and non mass pattern of enhancement, respectively. pattern of enhancement was not significantly different between the two groups.

Quantitative assessment of background parenchymal enhancement in breast magnetic resonance images predicts the risk of breast cancer

The objective of this study was to evaluate the association betweenthe quantitative assessment of background parenchymal enhancement rate (BPER) and breast cancer. From 14,033 consecutive patients who underwent breast MRI in our center, we randomly selected 101 normal controls. Then, we selected 101 women with benign breast lesions and 101 women with breast cancer who were matched for age and m...

Impact of radiotherapy on background parenchymal enhancement in breast magnetic resonance imaging.

BACKGROUND While many studies have shown that hormones can influence background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) in breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), only few have directly address the effect of radiotherapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of radiotherapy on BPE in breast MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective search identified 62 women with unilateral breast can...

MRI Background Parenchymal Enhancement Is Not Associated with Breast Cancer

BACKGROUND Previously, a strong positive association between background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and breast cancer was reported in high-risk populations. We sought to determine, whether this was also true for non-high-risk patients. METHODS 540 consecutive patients underwent breast MRI for assessment of breast findings (BI-RADS 0-5, non-high-risk scree...

We aimed to assess the influence of background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on surgical planning performed using preoperative MRI for breast cancer evaluation. Between January 2009 and December 2010, 91 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients (mean age, 55.5 years; range, 30-88 years) who underwent preoperative bilateral breast MRI followed by planned breast conservation therapy were retrospect...

Breast MRI background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) correlates with the risk of breast cancer.

OBJECTIVES To investigate whether background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) and breast cancer would correlate searching for any significant difference of BPE pattern distribution in case of benign or malignant lesions. METHODS 386 patients, including 180 pre-menopausal (group 1) and 206 post-menopausal (group 2), underwent MR examination. Two radiologists evaluated MR images classifying normal...
