Changes in patient management after preoperative <scp>MRI</scp> for newly diagnosed breast cancer: a multicentre prospective observational study
Preoperative MRI findings led to changes in surgical management for a third of selected women with early breast cancer, increasing the mastectomy rate. In most cases, the changes were deemed appropriate. MRI findings did not change planned mastectomy in those aged ≥ 70 years, indicating that these women may not experience changes in surgical plans after such testing.
