Investigation of breast cancer molecular subtype in a multi-ethnic population using MRI.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Accurate subtyping of breast cancer is crucial for its diagnosis, management, and prognostication. This study aimed to determine the association of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) breast features with the molecular subtype and aggressiveness of breast cancer in a multi-ethnic population.

Methods

Treatment-naive patients with invasive breast carcinoma were included in this retrospective study. Breast MRI features were recorded based on the American College of Radiology-Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR-BIRADS) criteria, with tumour size, and apparent diffusion coefficient value (ADC). The statistical association was tested with Pearson Chi-Square Test of Independence for categorical data or the Kruskal-Wallis/ Mann Whitney U test for numerical data bet
