Focal breast edema and breast edema score on T2-weighted images provides valuable biological information for invasive breast cancer

ConclusionsFocal edema on T2WI of breast MRI indicates stronger tumor invasiveness, in which non-luminal breast cancer is more inclined to present focal edema. Breast edema score, a novel and practical tool, helps guide the individualized treatment of patients with invasive breast cancer.Graphical AbstractCritical relevance statementFocal edema on T2WI of breast MRI indicates stronger tumor invasiveness. Breast edema score helps guide the individualized treatment of patients with invasive breast cancer.
