Breast MRI in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast in clinical practice

Key Points

• The aim is to explore the role of breast MRI in managing ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and its implications for surgical decisions.
• Analyzed incidental findings on MRI in patients with DCIS.
• Correlated MRI findings with mastectomy rates.
• Evaluated the occurrence of overtreatment through MRI utilization.
• Incidental MRI findings were linked to an increased rate of mastectomy.
• No significant instances of overtreatment or unnecessary mastectomies were identified.
• MRI is suggested as a valuable tool in surgical decision-making for pure DCIS.
