OverviewBreast mass imaging
Role
◦ Detection : Screening program
◦ Characterisation - BIRADS
◦ Histologic Correlation
Limitations
◦ Missed breast cancer
◦ Overdiagnosis

Part 1 : Radiologist’s role
To perform a complete diagnostic imagingevaluation before doing an assessment
To recognize lesions requiring biopsy
Good interpretation of imaging should :
- Respect the descriptive guidelines of the BIRADS
- Include the various imaging techniques
- Summarize the diagnostic strategy for clinicians

RoleScreening mammography
Early detection of breast cancer reducesmortality from breast cancer
◦ 24% reduction of breast cancer mortality among those invited to mammography screening
Early diagnosis offers more treatment options and less aggressive treatment
◦ Less mastectomy
◦ Less chemotherapy

RoleBIRADS : classification
Terminology developed by the American College of radiography◦ Lexicon used worldwide◦ Classification based on the positive predictive value of
malignancy
Describe lesions detected by the different breast-imaging techniques: mammography, ultrasound, MRI
Role ◦ To standardize reports ◦ To adapt patient management and follow-up

RoleBIRADS : when to do a biopsy ?
ACR 4: 3 < PPV < 94 %
ACR 5: PPV > 94 %
ACR 3: PPV < 3 %
To adapt strategy:- Invasive carcinoma ⇨ axillary lymph node exploration- Multifocal cancer ⇨ conservative vs mastectomy
To confirm homo or controlateral breast cancerGenetic mutation

RoleMass : Definition
A mass is defined by a space-occupying lesion that is visible on two different views
If a potential mass is seen on one view only, it should be reported as an “asymmetry”
Masses are characterized according to strict criteria

What do you do ?
Classify ACR 5 : spiculated margin
Add US examination
Perform a biopsy
A spiculated mass is suspect even if it’s stable for years +++

RolePathological-imaging correlations
The anatomopathological classification used to evaluate breast tissue specimens from biopsy is the European classification
(B1⇨ B5)
After the biopsy, the radiologist has to check if there is correlation between imaging anomalies and histological results

Part 2 : Limitations
Missed breast cancer
Controversial impact of the mammography
◦ X- Ray exposure
◦ Overdiagnosis

LimitationsMissed breast cancer
• Detection errors:
= Presence of a mass but overlooked
lack of attention or experience
Poor technical application
Up to 1/3 of interval cancers
• Misleading interpretation :
= Cancers mimicking pseudobenign lesions or with slow evolution.

Multifocal cancers
◦ 20% of cancers (lobular)
◦ Bilateral in 10 % of cases
« Satisfaction of search »
◦ After the identification of a first lesion, the radiologist misses additional lesions

Future ?
AI technologies could be used
◦ To increase the accuracy of mammography screening ?
◦ To distinguish lesions that require excision and those thatcould be followed up ?
Extremely large data-sets of imaging examinations linked to clinical factors and cancer outcomes are needed to train and validate models
