Abstract

Invasive lobular cancer has been associated with an increased risk of multifocal and contralateral disease. The literature suggests an incidence of contralateral disease as high as 15%. Current national (NICE) recommendations are that all patients with lobular carcinoma being considered for breast-conserving surgery have a preoperative breast MRI. The objective was to identify the rate of additional MRI-detected multifocal and contralateral disease in patients with a newly diagnosed lobular cancer to determine whether it is as high as the literature suggests. Based on our findings we hope to further explore whether another imaging alternative should be considered.
