The goal of this study was to investigate the value of IVIM-MRI and DCE-MRI in predicting SLN metastatic burden in clinical practice for early-stage breast cancer patients.
The clinicopathologic and MRI data from 132 early-stage breast cancer patients were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed using logistic regression to identify risk factors for a high SLN metastatic burden. The diagnostic performance of those factors was then assessed via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
Lymphovascular invasion (OR, 0.220; 95 % CI, 0.076-0.642; p = 0.006), K (OR, 0.971; 95 % CI, 0.944-0.998; p = 0.034) and D (OR, 1.010; 95 % CI, 1.003-1.017; p = 0.004) were independently associated with high metastatic burden. The area under the curve (AUC) for combined MRI & pathologic features (0.893; 95 % CI, 0.830-0.956; p < 0.001) and combined MRI (0.870; 95 % CI, 0.802-0.937; p < 0.001) was significantly higher than for each single MRI parameter alone (p = 0.002, 0.004), while the difference in AUCs between the combined MRI & pathologic features and combined MRI was not significant ((p = 0.154).
IVIM-MRI and DCE-MRI can be used to predict SLN metastatic burden in early-stage breast cancer patients in clinical practice.
本研究的目的是探讨体素内不相干运动磁共振成像（IVIM-MRI）和动态对比增强磁共振成像（DCE-MRI）在临床实践中预测早期乳腺癌患者前哨淋巴结转移负荷的价值。
回顾性分析132例早期乳腺癌患者的临床病理和MRI数据，采用逻辑回归分析确定前哨淋巴结转移负荷高的危险因素。然后通过受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线分析评估这些因素的诊断性能。
淋巴管浸润（OR，0.220；95%CI，0.076-0.642；p = 0.006）、K值（OR，0.971；95%CI，0.944-0.998；p = 0.034）和D值（OR，1.010；95%CI，1.003-1.017；p = 0.004）与高转移负荷独立相关。MRI与病理特征联合（曲线下面积[AUC]为0.893；95%CI，0.830-0.956；p < 0.001）和MRI联合（AUC为0.870；95%CI，0.802-0.937；p < 0.001）的AUC显著高于各单一MRI参数（p = 0.002，0.004），而MRI与病理特征联合和MRI联合之间的AUC差异不显著（p = 0.154）。
IVIM-MRI和DCE-MRI可用于临床实践中预测早期乳腺癌患者前哨淋巴结转移负荷。
