Preliminary studies have attempted to evaluate Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values for its potential prognostic utility. However the impact of ADC on prognosis remains to be clearly defined. This study was conducted with the goal of determining whether there exists a correlation between ADC values and Oncotype Dx scores in estrogen-receptor positive and lymph node negative breast cancers. We found that mean ADC values were higher in Oncotype DX score stratified low risk cancers than in intermediate risk cancers. Our data at 3.0T MRI suggests that lower ADC values correlate with a higher Oncotype DX score and consequently, an increased risk of recurrence.
