Measuring Tumor Extent Based on Subtypes Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Radiologic-Pathologic Discordance and High Positive Margin Rates in Breast Cancer.

Conclusion: Breast MRI was superior to US in the preoperative assessment of the pathologic extent of tumor size; this was most evident in TNBC. For HER2-positive tumors, imaging-pathologic discordance resulted in higher positive margin rates than that with other subtypes. PMID: 31598344 [PubMed]
