Ultrafast MRI Predicts DCIS Upgrade to Invasive Cancer at Breast Surgery

Biopsy-proven ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) lesions are often upgraded to invasive cancer at surgery. As a result, accurate prediction of the likelihood of invasion can be helpful for surgical planning, including the need to perform sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Now, a new study has found that ultrafast (UF) MRI provides beneficial information that can be used in surgical planning, including determining the need for SLNB. More...
