Background: Accurate preoperative sizing of breast cancer with imaging modalities has a great importance in the surgical planning.
Purpose: To assess the influence of tumor size and histology on the accuracy of measurement of cancer local extension by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Material And Methods: One hundred and eighty-six patients with primary breast cancer, for a total of 221 lesions, were included in this retrospective study.
Article Synopsis
- The increase in breast cancer diagnoses has led to a rise in reconstructive surgeries, alongside a growing demand for breast enhancement in Western cultures.
- There is a need for advanced imaging techniques to assess breast implants, with MRI being the gold standard for detecting ruptures and contractures that may not be clinically evident.
- Effective communication and collaboration between radiologists and plastic surgeons are crucial for managing patient care and addressing complications related to breast implants.
