Correlation of MRI features and pathohistological prognostic factors in invasive ductal breast carcinoma.

A smooth margin of breast cancer on breast MRI was able to predict positive axillary lymph nodes, larger tumor size, and lower expression of ER. Except for a higher histological grade, GS was not able to predict other unfavorable prognostic factors, probably due to the fact that smooth margins were assigned fewer points than spiculated margins.
