Background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI has been associated with breast cancer risk, both based on qualitative and quantitative assessments.
To investigate whether BPE of the contralateral breast on preoperative DCE-MRI is associated with therapy outcome in ER-positive, HER2-negative, node-negative invasive breast cancer.
Retrospective.
In all, 289 patients with unilateral ER-positive, HER2-negative, node-negative breast cancer larger than 5 mm.
FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3T, T -weighted DCE sequence.
BPE of the contralateral breast was assessed qualitatively by two dedicated radiologists and quantitatively (using region-of-interest and automatic breast segmentation).
Cox regression analysis was used to determine associations with recurrence-free survival (RFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DFS). Interobserver variability for parenchymal enhancement was assessed using kappa statistics and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
The median follow-up time was 75.8 months. Multivariate analysis showed receipt of total mastectomy (hazard ratio [HR]: 5.497) and high Ki-67 expression level (HR: 5.956) were independent factors associated with worse RFS (P < 0.05). Only a high Ki-67 expression level was associated with worse DFS (HR: 3.571, P = 0.045). BPE assessments were not associated with outcome (RFS [qualitative BPE: P = 0.75, 0.92 for readers 1 and 2; quantitative BPE: P = 0.38-0.99], DFS, [qualitative BPE: P = 0.41, 0.16 for readers 1 and 2; quantitative BPE: P = 0.68-0.99]). For interobserver variability, there was good agreement between qualitative (κ = 0.700) and good to perfect agreement for most quantitative parameters of BPE.
Contralateral BPE showed no association with survival outcome in patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative, node-negative invasive breast cancer. A high Ki-67 expression level was associated with both worse recurrence-free and distant metastasis-free survival.

基于定性和定量评估，动态对比增强（DCE）-MRI 上的背景实质强化（BPE）与乳腺癌风险相关。
研究术前 DCE-MRI 上对侧乳房的 BPE 是否与 ER 阳性、HER2 阴性、淋巴结阴性浸润性乳腺癌的治疗结果相关。
回顾性。
共有 289 名单侧 ER 阳性、HER2 阴性、淋巴结阴性浸润性乳腺癌患者，肿瘤大于 5mm。
磁场强度/序列：3T，T1 加权 DCE 序列。
两位专门的放射科医生对侧乳房的 BPE 进行定性评估，并进行定量评估（使用感兴趣区域和自动乳房分割）。
使用 Cox 回归分析确定与无复发生存率（RFS）和远处无转移生存率（DFS）的相关性。使用kappa 统计和组内相关系数（ICC）评估实质增强的观察者间变异性。
中位随访时间为 75.8 个月。多变量分析显示，全乳切除术（危险比[HR]：5.497）和高 Ki-67 表达水平（HR：5.956）是与 RFS 较差相关的独立因素（P<0.05）。仅高 Ki-67 表达水平与较差的 DFS 相关（HR：3.571，P=0.045）。BPE 评估与结果无关（RFS[定性 BPE：P=0.75，0.92 为读者 1 和 2；定量 BPE：P=0.38-0.99]，DFS[定性 BPE：P=0.41，0.16 为读者 1 和 2；定量 BPE：P=0.68-0.99]）。对于观察者间的变异性，定性 BPE （κ=0.700）和大多数定量 BPE 参数之间存在良好的一致性，而定量 BPE 参数之间存在极好的一致性。
ER 阳性、HER2 阴性、淋巴结阴性浸润性乳腺癌患者对侧 BPE 与生存结果无关。高 Ki-67 表达水平与无复发生存率和远处无转移生存率均较差相关。
