OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to determine the cancer detection and biopsy rate among women who have breast MRI screening solely on the basis of a personal history of breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective review of 1,699 breast MRI examinations performed from 1999 to 2001 yielded 144 women with prior breast cancer but no family history who commenced breast MRI screening during that time. Minimal breast cancer was defined as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or node-negative invasive breast cancer < 1 cm in size. RESULTS: Of 144 women, 44 (31% [95% CI, 15-29%]) underwent biopsies prompted by MRI examination. Biopsies revealed malignancies in 17 women (12% [95% CI, 7-18%]) and benign findings only in 27 women (19% [95% CI, 13-26%]). Of the 17 women in whom cancer was detected, seven also had benign biopsy results. In total, 18 malignancies were found. One woman had two metachronous cancers. MRI screening resulted in a total of 61 biopsies, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 39% (95% CI, 27-53%). The malignancies found included 17 carcinomas and one myxoid liposarcoma. Of the 17 cancers, 12 (71%) were invasive, five (29%) were DCIS, and 10 (59%) were minimal breast cancers. Of 17 cancers, 10 were detected by MRI only. The 10 cancers detected by MRI only, versus seven cancers later found by other means, were more likely to be DCIS (4/10 [40%] vs 1/7 [14%]; p = 0.25) or minimal breast cancers (7/10 [70%] vs 3/7 [43%]; p = 0.26). CONCLUSION: We found that breast MRI screening of women with only a personal history of breast cancer was clinically valuable finding malignancies in 12%, with a reasonable biopsy rate (PPV, 39%).
