Usefulness of postoperative surveillance MR for women after breast-conservation therapy: Focusing on MR features of early and late recurrent breast cancer
Postoperative breast MRI demonstrates significantly higher detectability of recurrent breast cancer compared to mammography and ultrasound in women who underwent breast-conservation therapy. The study found that early recurrent lesions exhibit fast enhancement, while late recurrences show a delayed washout pattern, highlighting the importance of MRI in identifying these cases.
