Suspect breast lesions: findings at dynamic gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging correlated with mammographic and pathologic features.

Abstract: MR imaging enhancement of 2.0 or more times had high sensitivity (100%) for invasive carcinomas 8 mm or more in diameter, with moderate specificity (65%). Time-intensity curves showed no significant difference between enhancement of benign and malignant lesions.

“…Only a few studies have attempted to directly correlate DCE-MRI findings with prognostic factors such as tumour grade and nodal status in clinical studies of breast cancer [32][33][34][35][36]. None of these studies included pharmacokinetic analysis of DCE-MRI.…”

“…Aksillada metastaz olup memede mamografi ve US ile bir lezyon saptanamıyorsa, okult meme kanseri demeden önce tetkik olarak mutlaka MR eklenmeli ve tedavi ona göre yönlendirilmelidir (34,35 MR'ı her ne kadar yüksek derecede sensitif bir yöntem ise de, maliyetinin yüksek olması, hastaların bu yönteme uyumunda sorun olabilmesi ve spesifitesinin düşük olması (%30-95) gibi dezavantajları vardır (32,36). Dolayısıyla hatalı pozitif durumları azaltmak için biyopsi yapılması şarttır (30).…”

“…Unfortunately, these techniques provide rather limited sensitivity and specificity. Over the past few year contrast material-enhanced breast magnetic resonance [7][8][9][10] (MR) imaging has evolved and has become an important tool in the evaluation of breast abnormalities, with a reported sensitivity as high as 94% -100% and *Corresponding author: Dr Surender Kumar, Associate Professor, Department of Surgery, King George`s Medical University, Lucknow, UP, India, Tel: +919005012189; E-mail: dr_kukku@yahoo.co.in specificity in the range of 37%-97% but unfortunately benign tumors, such as fibro adenomas also enhance to various levels from minimal to intense [11,12], therefore a reliable discrimination cannot be made on the basis of enhancement alone. Similarly 20% of Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) may yield inadequate aspirate and may demonstrate a false negative rate of 6.4% [13] in palpable lumps.…”
