Abstract

The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer has evolved significantly over the last 20 years. Breast‐conserving therapy is replacing the Halstedian concept of “en bloc” resection. Difficulties in detection, pre‐ and postoperative planning and follow up continue to challenge the clinician. Women at high risk present a significant clinical dilemma. MRI technology in many of these areas is providing more information about detection, tumor size, extent, and response to treatment. The careful and thoughtful inclusion of MRI in clinical trials may help continue the advancement of breast cancer care. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2001;13:837–841. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
