Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the United States and is also the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. The five-year survival rate and overall prognosis are largely dependent on the stage at diagnosis. Our article highlights the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in breast cancer staging and updates to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition guidelines regarding breast cancer staging that are relevant to radiologists. It provides a case-based approach to emphasize the key findings that the radiologist should report on a breast MRI to aid the clinicians in staging and management.
乳腺癌是美国女性中最常被诊断出的癌症，也是女性癌症死亡的第二大主要原因。五年生存率和总体预后在很大程度上取决于诊断时的分期。我们的文章强调了磁共振成像（MRI）在乳腺癌分期中的作用，以及美国癌症联合委员会（AJCC）第8版乳腺癌分期指南中与放射科医生相关的更新内容。它提供了一种基于病例的方法，以强调放射科医生在乳腺MRI报告中应汇报的关键发现，以帮助临床医生进行分期和管理。
