Abstract
Purpose: The impact of preoperative MRI on breast cancer recurrence and long-term outcomes remains undefined. Therefore, this study aims at determining the influence of preoperative MRI on in-breast tumor recurrence rates in cases of surgical treatment for breast cancer.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. Literature searches of PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were conducted for studies up to February 2024. Two authors assessed the quality of the eligible studies and extracted their data.
Results: The meta-analysis included 14 studies (2 RCTs, 12 cohort studies) with 12,889 patients with 5,451 undergoing preoperative MRI. Pooled hazard ratio for in-breast tumor recurrence was 0.95, using fixed effects and 0.94 using random effects models with 95% confidence intervals of 0.80-1.14 and 0.77-1.14, respectively. A trend towards lower recurrence rates in the MRI group was seen, but the reduction was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: This meta-analysis found no significant reduction in in-breast tumor recurrence rates associated with preoperative MRI use in breast cancer patients, consistent with previous findings.
期刊介绍:
Langenbeck''s Archives of Surgery aims to publish the best results in the field of clinical surgery and basic surgical research. The main focus is on providing the highest level of clinical research and clinically relevant basic research. The journal, published exclusively in English, will provide an international discussion forum for the controlled results of clinical surgery. The majority of published contributions will be original articles reporting on clinical data from general and visceral surgery, while endocrine surgery will also be covered. Papers on basic surgical principles from the fields of traumatology, vascular and thoracic surgery are also welcome. Evidence-based medicine is an important criterion for the acceptance of papers.
