Brief summary

Breast MRI is a fairly new technology, but it has been well studied. It is now used routinely in many patients with breast cancer. It has been shown to be useful in detecting areas of cancer that cannot be seen using other types of scans or tests. The purpose of this study is to see how often MRI can find other areas of cancer in women with one area of breast cancer, and to determine how having the MRI test affects their treatment. The purpose is also to study any areas of abnormality seen on your MRI with special methods that allow the images of your breast tissue and the microscopic analysis of your breast tissue to be compared very carefully. The study also aims to follow women who enter the study over a 10-year period to determine how often the breast cancer comes back.

Interventions

PROCEDUREMRI

The patient will then undergo a breast MRI as part of their preoperative work-up of DCIS. Biopsy of any suspicious areas by needle biopsy or at the time of surgery. If appropriate, repeat MRI after biopsy or surgery. Follow-up for 10 years (you will be contacted once a year to see how you are doing).
