Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine whether patients with premenopausal breast cancer history only can benefit from screening breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by comparing them to patients with both a personal and a family history of breast cancer. With Institutional Review Board approval and waiver of informed consent, a retrospective review was conducted to determine patients previously diagnosed with premenopausal breast cancer undergoing screening MRI. From December 2003 to October 31, 2014, a total of 4436 screening MRI examinations were performed; 381 examinations were performed in 131 patients with a personal history (PH) of premenopausal breast cancer. This cohort was evaluated further and revealed 146 examinations in 52 patients with PH only, and 235 examinations in 79 patients with personal history and family history (PHFH). Fisher's exact test was used to compare the distribution between the groups. Total number of MRI examinations performed per patient ranged from 1 to 10, with an average of 2.9 in the PHFH group and 2.8 in the PH only group. Patient age at time of original diagnosis was significantly different between the groups (P = 0.0391). There were 74 (19.4%) suspicious MRI findings: 27 in the PH o...Continue Reading
