Are background breast parenchymal features on preoperative breast MRI associated with disease-free survival in patients with invasive breast cancer?
Objective: To evaluate whether breast parenchymal features of the contralateral breast on preoperative MRI are associated with primary breast cancer characteristics and disease-free survival (DFS) in women with invasive breast cancer.
Materials and methods: Women with newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer who underwent preoperative breast MRI followed by surgery were retrospectively evaluated. Background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and background diffusion signal (BDS) on diffusion-weighted MRI of the contralateral breast were qualitatively assessed using a four-category scale: minimal, mild, moderate, or marked. Primary breast cancer characteristics were compared based on the degree of BPE or BDS. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the association between MRI parenchymal features and DFS after adjusting for clinicopathologic features.
Results: A total of 515 women (mean age, 54 years) were included. Of whom, 46 (8.9%) patients who developed disease recurrence at a median follow-up of 60 months were observed. A high level (moderate/marked) of BPE or BDS was associated with younger age (≤ 45) and premenopausal status (all P < 0.05) compared to a low level (minimal/mild), but it was not associated with primary cancer characteristics such as tumor stage, grade, or subtype. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis demonstrated that larger tumor size (> 2 cm) (hazard ratio [HR], 3.877; P < . 001), triple-negative subtype (HR, 2.440; P = .013), and axillary node metastasis (HR, 1.823; P = .049) were associated with worse DFS. No associations were observed between background parenchymal features and disease outcomes.
Conclusions: MRI parenchymal features, including BPE and BDS, of the contralateral breast showed no associations with primary breast cancer characteristics or DFS in women with invasive breast cancer.
期刊介绍:
Felice Perussia founded La radiologia medica in 1914. It is a peer-reviewed journal and serves as the official journal of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM). The primary purpose of the journal is to disseminate information related to Radiology, especially advancements in diagnostic imaging and related disciplines. La radiologia medica welcomes original research on both fundamental and clinical aspects of modern radiology, with a particular focus on diagnostic and interventional imaging techniques. It also covers topics such as radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, radiobiology, health physics, and artificial intelligence in the context of clinical implications. The journal includes various types of contributions such as original articles, review articles, editorials, short reports, and letters to the editor. With an esteemed Editorial Board and a selection of insightful reports, the journal is an indispensable resource for radiologists and professionals in related fields. Ultimately, La radiologia medica aims to serve as a platform for international collaboration and knowledge sharing within the radiological community.
