Preoperative MRI and surgical management in patients with nonpalpable breast cancer: the MONET - randomised controlled trial.

TLDR
Addition of MRI to routine clinical care in patients with nonpalpable breast cancer was paradoxically associated with an increased re-excision rate, and breast MRI should not be used routinely for preoperative work-up of patients withNonpalpables breast cancer.

TL;DR: Lymphedema is a common complication after treatment for breast cancer and factors associated with increased risk of lymphedEMA include extent of axillary surgery, axillary radiation, infection, and patient obesity.

MRI for breast cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment

TL;DR: MRI screening of women with known or suspected genetic mutation results in a higher sensitivity for cancer detection than does mammography, but this increased sensitivity did not translate into improved selection of surgical treatment or a reduction in the number of operations in two randomised trials.

Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging in breast cancer: meta-analysis of surgical outcomes.

TL;DR: It is shown that MRI significantly increased mastectomy rates and suggests an unfavorable harm-benefit ratio for routine use of preoperative MRI in BC, and overall patient benefit from MRI in ILC is not clear.

Five-Year Results of a Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Total Mastectomy and Segmental Mastectomy with or without Radiation in the Treatment of Breast Cancer

TL;DR: It is concluded that segmental mastectomy, followed by breast irradiation in all patients and adjuvant chemotherapy in women with positive nodes, is appropriate therapy for Stage I and II breast tumors less than or equal to 4 cm, provided that margins of resected specimens are free of tumor.

Diagnostic accuracy of mammography, clinical examination, US, and MR imaging in preoperative assessment of breast cancer.

TL;DR: In nonfatty breasts, US and MR imaging were more sensitive than mammography for invasive cancer, but both MR imaging and US involved risk of overestimation of tumor extent.

Accuracy and surgical impact of magnetic resonance imaging in breast cancer staging: systematic review and meta-analysis in detection of multifocal and multicentric cancer.

TL;DR: There is a need to reduce FP MRI detection in detection of multifocal and/or multicentric cancer not identified on conventional imaging, however there is not enough evidence to determine the clinical value of detecting additional disease which changes surgical treatment in women with apparently localized breast cancer.

Breast carcinoma: effect of preoperative contrast-enhanced MR imaging on the therapeutic approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, T1-weighted fast low-angle shot MR imaging of the breast was performed before and after administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine and histopathologic analysis revealed 143 benign and 405 malignant lesions.
