Emerging studies suggest that imaging features could
complement standard pathologic variables in cancer
prognostic assessment. However, studies on the role of
DCE-MRI in improving breast cancer prognostication are
still limited. The goal of this study was to investigate
the complementary value of morphologic breast DCE-MRI
tumor characteristics as prognostic markers for breast
cancer recurrence risk assessment. DCE-MRI images were
retrospectively analyzed from 57 women with breast
cancer. Oncotype DX score was used as a surrogate for
cancer recurrence. Our results suggest that DCE-MRI
could complement histopathologic factors in predicting
breast cancer recurrence risk and could potentially
improve breast cancer prognostication.
