BI-RADS category 3 lesions under evaluation

This study carries out a retrospective evaluation of the characteristics of BI-RADS category 3 lesions, as well as proposing appropriate follow-up recommendations, detected in pre-operative MRIs of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.

 

Key points:

• BI-RADS category 3 lesions on preoperative MRI had 0.8% malignancy rate.
• All cancers occurred after 24-month follow-up.
• Annual follow-up might be adequate for BI-RADS 3 detected on preoperative MRI.
