Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hormone receptor-positive breast cancer is the most common subtype; better tools to identify which patients in this group would derive clear benefit from chemotherapy are needed. PURPOSE: To evaluate the prognostic potential of diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) by investigating associations with pathologic biomarkers and a genomic assay for 10-year recurrence risk. STUDY TYPE: Retrospective. SUBJECTS: In...
