Abstract
Purpose
The goal of this study was to investigate the value of IVIM-MRI and DCE-MRI in predicting SLN metastatic burden in clinical practice for early-stage breast cancer patients.
Methods
The clinicopathologic and MRI data from 132 early-stage breast cancer patients were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed using logistic regression to identify risk factors for a high SLN metastatic burden. The diagnostic performance of those factors was then assessed via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
Results
Lymphovascular invasion (OR, 0.220; 95 % CI, 0.076–0.642; p = 0.006), Ktrans (OR, 0.971; 95 % CI, 0.944–0.998; p = 0.034) and D (OR, 1.010; 95 % CI, 1.003–1.017; p = 0.004) were independently associated with high metastatic burden. The area under the curve (AUC) for combined MRI & pathologic features (0.893; 95 % CI, 0.830–0.956; p < 0.001) and combined MRI (0.870; 95 % CI, 0.802–0.937; p < 0.001) was significantly higher than for each single MRI parameter alone (p = 0.002, 0.004), while the difference in AUCs between the combined MRI & pathologic features and combined MRI was not significant ((p = 0.154).
Conclusion
IVIM-MRI and DCE-MRI can be used to predict SLN metastatic burden in early-stage breast cancer patients in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the first international multidisciplinary journal encompassing physical, life, and clinical science investigations as they relate to the development and use of magnetic resonance imaging. MRI is dedicated to both basic research, technological innovation and applications, providing a single forum for communication among radiologists, physicists, chemists, biochemists, biologists, engineers, internists, pathologists, physiologists, computer scientists, and mathematicians.
