OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the diffusion-weighted whole-body-MRI (WBMRI) in the initial staging of breast cancer at high risk of metastases in comparison with positron emission tomography (PET)-CT.
METHODS: Forty-five women were prospectively enrolled. The inclusion criteria were female gender, age >18, invasive breast cancer, an initial PET-CT, and a performance status of 0-2. The exclusion criteria were contraindication to WB-MRI and breast cancer recurrence. The primary outcome was the concordance of WB-MRI and PET-CT in the diagnosis of distant metastases, whereas secondary outcomes included their concordance for the primary tumor and regional lymph nodes (LN), as well as the agreement of WB-MRI interpretation between two radiologists.
RESULTS: The mean age was 51.2 years with a median size of the primary tumor of 30 mm. Concordance between the two modalities was almost perfect for metastases staging, all sites included (k = 0.862), with excellent interobserver agreement. The accuracy of WB-MRI for detecting regional LN, distant LN, lung, liver, or bone metastases ranged from 91 to 96%. In 2 patients, WB-MRI detected bone metastases that were overlooked by PET-CT. WB-MRI showed a substantial agreement with PET-CT for staging the primary tumor, regional LN status, and stage (k = 0.766, k = 0.756, and k = 0.785, respectively) with a high interobserver agreement.
CONCLUSION: WB-MRI including DWI could be a reliable and reproducible examination in the initial staging of breast cancer patients at high risk of metastases, especially for bone metastases and therefore could be used as a surrogate to PET-CT.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Whole-body-MRI including DWI is a promising technique for detecting metastases in the initial staging of breast cancer at high risk of metastases.
KEY POINTS: Whole-body-MRI (WB-MRI) was effective for detecting metastases in the initial staging of 45 breast cancer patients at high risk of metastases in comparison with PET-CT. Concordance between WB-MRI and PET-CT was almost perfect for metastases staging, all sites included, with excellent interobserver agreement. The accuracy of WB-MRI for detecting bone metastases was 92%.
