Impact of Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) on Mastectomy Rates

NCT01166581 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 300

Last updated 2015-02-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary goal of this study is to determine if preoperative breast MRI findings resulted in more extensive surgery, i.e., mastectomy than breast conserving surgery, i.e., lumpectomy in early stage breast cancers at Summa Akron City Hospital. Early stage breast cancer is defined as breast tumor size less than 5 cm.

The objectives are to:

* Review early stage breast cancer patient cases treated at Summa Akron City Hospital between 2006 and 2009 to evaluate clinical and pathological staging
* Determine the results of preoperative breast MRI and the impact on type of surgery performed
* Evaluate the decision to have mastectomy rather than lumpectomy, i.e., physician or patient decision and if this decision was based on breast MRI findings
