The role of multiparametric MRI in predicting lymphovascular invasion in breast cancer patients

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Background: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of multifactorial MRI in diagnosing breast cancer, specifically in the context of predicting lymphovascular invasion (LVI).Materials & methods: The patients were stratified into two groups: the primary group (100 patients) and the validation group (100 patients), based on essential characteristics. Multifactorial MRI, encompassing tumor size evaluation, diffusion coefficient assessment and dynamic contrast enhancement, was employed for patient examination.Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in tumor size, diffusion coefficient and dynamic contrast enhancement between groups with LVI (LVI+) and those without (LVI-). Key parameters were identified for predicting the degree of invasion.Conclusion: The results affirm the effectiveness of multifactorial MRI in forecasting LVI.
