Objective: This study aimed to determine the difference of Magnetic Resonance Mammography (MRM) findings versus mammography in detecting multifocal, multi-centric and malignant bilateral lesions in patients with known breast cancer in Tehran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Iran and Tehran among breast cancer patients between January 2015 and February 2016. Patients were included in the study prior to surgery, at the request of a surgeon with the aim of detecting multifocal, multi-centric and bilateral lesions. Demographic information was also collected from patients. The results for quantitative variables were expressed as mean and standard deviations, and for qualitative variables, were expressed as relative and absolute frequency. Chi-square test was used to compare the two methods. SPSS Ver.24 (IBM) software was used to analyze the data. Results: Thirty-nine patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age of patients in this study was 48.46±6.836. In mammography, 13 (33.3%) had Composition C and 26 (66.7%) had Composition D according to the type of Composition. In total, 25 patients (89.3%) had one lesion and 3 patients (10.7%) had more than two lesions. In MRM, all lesions observed were mass (54 masses). The number of lesions found in MRM was 27 patients with one lesion (58.9%), 6 patients with two lesions (20.5%) and 5 patients with three lesions (20.6%). MRM detected more lesions compared to mammography (p<0.0001). The value of Chi-square test with a degree of freedom and error level of 0.05 was 3.71 and p<0.0001 that showed a significant relationship between the number of MRM findings in comparison with mammography. Conclusion: The results of our study showed that two or more lesions and bilateral lesions in MRM were more than mammography in women with B Breast Composition C, D; the findings showed that MRM has a better ability to detect breast masses, and can affect the patient's surgical procedure.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5614295/Breast cancerMammographyMRMMultifocalMulti-centric |

Background: Breast cancer is one of the health system problems and important diseases that is rising in
developing and advanced countries.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the difference of Magnetic Resonance Mammography (MRM) findings
versus mammography in detecting multifocal, multi-centric and malignant bilateral lesions in patients with
known breast cancer in Tehran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Iran and Tehran among breast cancer patients between
January 2015 and February 2016. Patients were included in the study prior to surgery, at the request of a surgeon
with the aim of detecting multifocal, multi-centric and bilateral lesions. Demographic information was also
collected from patients. The results for quantitative variables were expressed as mean and standard deviations,
and for qualitative variables, were expressed as relative and absolute frequency. Chi-square test was used to
compare the two methods. SPSS Ver.24 (IBM) software was used to analyze the data.
Results: Thirty-nine patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age of patients in this study was 48.46±6.836.
In mammography, 13 (33.3%) had Composition C and 26 (66.7%) had Composition D according to the type of
Composition. In total, 25 patients (89.3%) had one lesion and 3 patients (10.7%) had more than two lesions. In
MRM, all lesions observed were mass (54 masses). The number of lesions found in MRM was 27 patients with
one lesion (58.9%), 6 patients with two lesions (20.5%) and 5 patients with three lesions (20.6%). MRM detected
more lesions compared to mammography (p<0.0001). The value of Chi-square test with a degree of freedom and
error level of 0.05 was 3.71 and p<0.0001 that showed a significant relationship between the number of MRM
findings in comparison with mammography.
Conclusion: The results of our study showed that two or more lesions and bilateral lesions in MRM were more
than mammography in women with B Breast Composition C, D; the findings showed that MRM has a better
ability to detect breast masses, and can affect the patient's surgical procedure. |
