Background: This study aimed to examine the association between preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and surgical margin involvement, as well as to determine the factors associated with positive resection margins in screen-detected breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery (BCS).
Methods: Breast cancer patients eligible for BCS and diagnosed after biennial screening mammography in the south of The Netherlands (2008-2017) were retrospectively included. Missing values were imputed and multivariable regression analyses were performed to analyze whether preoperative MRI was related to margin involvement after BCS, as well as to examine what factors were associated with positive resection margins, defined as more than focally (>4 mm) involved.
Article Synopsis
- From 2011 to 2016, a study observed 376,519 women who underwent biennial mammography, focusing on high-risk breast lesions identified through core needle biopsy (CNB).
- The percentage of women getting CNB after being recalled remained constant, but the rate of high-risk lesions found through CNB rose significantly from 3.2% to 9.5%.
- Although the number of high-risk lesions being surgically excised increased, the proportion of those excisions revealing cancer remained stable, indicating many women underwent surgery despite benign outcomes.
Background: To determine the proportion of "true" interval cancers and tumor characteristics of interval breast cancers prior to, during and after the transition from screen-film mammography screening (SFM) to full-field digital mammography screening (FFDM).
Methods: We included all women with interval cancers detected between January 2006 and January 2014. Breast imaging reports, biopsy results and breast surgery reports of all women recalled at screening mammography and of all women with interval breast cancers were collected.
