Population-based study of the effect of preoperative breast MRI on the surgical management of ductal carcinoma in situ.

CONCLUSION: Adding MRI to conventional breast imaging did not improve surgical outcome in patients diagnosed with primary DCIS. The likelihood of undergoing a mastectomy was twice as high in the MRI group, and no reduction in the risk of margin involvement was observed after BCS.
