Article Synopsis
- The study examines the link between mammographic breast density and the occurrence of incidental lesions found in MRI scans for women diagnosed with breast cancer.
- Out of 946 patients, a significant percentage (17.5%) had incidental lesions detected, with high breast density associated with a higher number of these lesions but not a higher incidence of malignancy.
- The conclusion emphasizes that while dense breasts lead to more incidental findings in MRIs, they do not increase the likelihood of those findings being cancerous, suggesting that density alone should not warrant preoperative MRI.
Background: Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy is an alternative to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in women with inoperable luminal-like breast cancers. Neoadjuvant cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor treatment combined with endocrine treatment (CDK4/6I + E) is interesting given the combination's utility in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Currently, the literature on the radiological response evaluation of patients treated with neoadjuvant CDK4/6I + E in a real-life setting is scarce.
