Preoperative MR imaging in patients with breast cancer: preoperative staging, effects on recurrence rates, and outcome analysis

Uwe Fischer et al. Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am. 2006 Aug.

Abstract

As well documented for other diseases (ie, lymphoma), an accurate pretherapeutic assessment of the extent of breast cancer is essential for planning the appropriate treatment to get the best long-term results, decrease recurrence rates, and increase patient survival. This article presents an overview of the effects of preoperative local staging with MR imaging in breast cancer patients.
