Abstract

Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is accepted as a useful adjunct to screening mammography for women at high risk for breast cancer. Nevertheless, concerns about false-positive findings remain, and data about MRI harms and yields are limited. The aim of this study was to quantify harms and yields of breast MRI over time in a large series of patients. A retrospective review was performed of patients at increased risk for breast cancer who underwent annual screening digital mammography and MRI from 2007 to 2013. Harms were defined as events not producing a breast cancer diagnosis (ultrasonography [US], imaging-guided core or surgical biopsy procedure, recommendation for short-term follow-up, or a combination). Of 350 high-risk patients offered MRI screening, 320 underwent 757 screening MRI procedures over time. The median age at the first MRI was 48 years. All patients met American Cancer Society criteria for annual screening breast MRI. Total harms were highest with the first MRI procedure and decreased with subsequent MRI screening. Of 75 biopsy procedures performed, including 58 US- or MRI-guided core biopsy procedures and 17 surgical biopsy procedures, 6 specimens were found to be malignant, including 2 resulting from b...Continue Reading
