Association between MRI background parenchymal enhancement and lymphovascular invasion and estrogen receptor status in invasive breast cancer

摘要

Objectives: In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) is associated with breast cancer risk, but the associations between BPE and clinical characteristics and histological features are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between BPE and clinical characteristics (including age, menopausal status, and tumor histological characteristics) in patients with invasive breast cancer.
