          TERMINOLOGY

          • Definitions

            • Contrast-enhanced MR of breasts, using dedicated breast coil, in asymptomatic women usually at high risk for breast cancer
              • As annual supplement to mammography (MMG)
                • In women 25-29 years old, primary screening modality is MR
                  • Radiation risk to MMG and no proven benefit
            • Definitions of high risk vary; check American Cancer Society, National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE, UK) guidelines for MR screening
              • Known pathogenic mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2
              • 1st-degree relative has known pathogenic mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2, but patient is untested
              • Known or 1st-degree relative with
                • Li-Fraumeni syndrome (TP53 pathogenic mutation): Begin annual MR at age 20; consider MMG ≥ age 30
                  • NICE guidelines: Avoid MMG due to radiation risk
                • PTEN-hamartoma syndrome (Cowden, other): Begin annual MR + MMG at age 30
              • Personal history of high-risk mutation: Supplemental MR
                • Consider annual MR for ATM, PALB2, CHEK2 depending on specifics of family history
                • Pathogenic CDH1 mutation: Begin MR at age 30 [~ 50% lifetime risk (LTR) of invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC)]
                • Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF1): Annual MR ages 30-50 then MMG alone
                • STK11 (Peutz-Jeghers syndrome): Annual MR beginning at age 25
              • Chest radiation therapy (XRT) at least 8 years earlier, prior to age 30 (e.g., Hodgkin lymphoma therapy)
              • Use risk models that consider family history of breast and ovarian cancer to predict risk of pathogenic BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation (Claus, Tyrer-Cuzick, BOADICEA, BRCAPRO); estimate LTR of breast cancer for purposes of MR screening
                • Women with LTR > 20-25% should consider supplemental annual MR screening
                • Life expectancy ≥ 10 years, age ≤ 70
              • Strong family history of breast &/or ovarian cancer: Consider referral to high-risk program, genetics
                • ↑ number of relatives, closeness (1st-degree vs. 2nd- or 3rd-degree relatives) and premenopausal age at relative's diagnosis ↑ risk to patient
                • Male relative with breast cancer
                • Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry and family history of breast or ovarian cancer
            • American College of Radiology (ACR) also recommends annual MR
              • Personal history of breast cancer (PHBC) diagnosed by age 50 or dense breasts
                • ↑ specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) compared to other high-risk cohorts
            • Consider MR for personal history of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) at time of diagnosis and annually, especially if additional risk factors
            • Consider MR for personal history of other atypical biopsy
              • No proven benefit to MR in this setting; no proven issues with ↑ interval cancer rates nor advanced stage at diagnosis in such patients

                                            • Pathogenic CDH1 mutation: Begin MR at age 30 [~ 50% lifetime risk (LTR) of invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC)]
                                            • Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF1): Annual MR ages 30-50 then MMG alone
                                            • STK11 (Peutz-Jeghers syndrome): Annual MR beginning at age 25
                                          • Chest radiation therapy (XRT) at least 8 years earlier, prior to age 30 (e.g., Hodgkin lymphoma therapy)
                                          • Use risk models that consider family history of breast and ovarian cancer to predict risk of pathogenic BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation (Claus, Tyrer-Cuzick, BOADICEA, BRCAPRO); estimate LTR of breast cancer for purposes of MR screening
                                            • Women with LTR > 20-25% should consider supplemental annual MR screening
                                            • Life expectancy ≥ 10 years, age ≤ 70
                                          • Strong family history of breast &/or ovarian cancer: Consider referral to high-risk program, genetics
                                            • ↑ number of relatives, closeness (1st-degree vs. 2nd- or 3rd-degree relatives) and premenopausal age at relative's diagnosis ↑ risk to patient
                                            • Male relative with breast cancer
                                            • Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry and family history of breast or ovarian cancer
                                        • American College of Radiology (ACR) also recommends annual MR
                                          • Personal history of breast cancer (PHBC) diagnosed by age 50 or dense breasts
                                            • ↑ specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) compared to other high-risk cohorts
                                        • Consider MR for personal history of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) at time of diagnosis and annually, especially if additional risk factors
                                        • Consider MR for personal history of other atypical biopsy
                                          • No proven benefit to MR in this setting; no proven issues with ↑ interval cancer rates nor advanced stage at diagnosis in such patients
