Beyond the Needle: Understanding Tissue Marker Migration in Breast MRI-Guided Biopsies.

Objective: To evaluate the frequency and factors associated with clip migration in MRI-guided breast biopsies.

Methods: This study was approved by our Institutional Review Board and was compliant with HIPAA. We retrospectively evaluated all MRI-guided biopsies performed between January 2013 and December 2020 in our institution for clip migration.

Pushing the envelope in breast conserving surgery - is multiple-wire localization (3 or more wires) associated with increased risk of compromised margins and long-term recurrence?

Introduction: In the last two decades there has been a paradigm shift with breast conserving surgery (BCS) being applied to larger and more extensive breast malignancies. The aim of this study is to examine the success of BCS being performed in patients with extensive breast malignancies requiring at least 3 wires for localization, and to assess possible risk factors for failure.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective single center review of 232 patients who underwent BCS between 2010 and 2020 requiring at least 3 wires for localization, thus comprising the multi-wire group (MWG).

The diagnostic performance of ultrafast MRI to differentiate benign from malignant breast lesions: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: To assess the diagnostic performance of ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging (UF-DCE MRI) in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.

Materials And Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted until September 1, 2023, in Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Clinical studies evaluating the diagnostic performance of UF-DCE MRI in breast lesion stratification were screened and included in the meta-analysis.

Evaluating persistent T1-weighted lesions without concurrent abnormal enhancement on breast MRI in neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients: implications for complete pathological response.

Objective: This study aims to determine whether persistent T1-weighted lesions signify a complete pathological response (pCR) in breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery, and to evaluate their correlation with imaging responses on MRI.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on data from breast cancer patients treated between January 2011 and December 2018. Patients who underwent breast MRI and pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery were included.
