Sumario:Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the United States and is also the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. The five-year survival rate and overall prognosis are largely dependent on the stage at diagnosis. Our article highlights the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in breast cancer staging and updates to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition guidelines regarding breast cancer staging that are relevant to radiologists. It provides a case-based approach to emphasize the key findings that the radiologist should report on a breast MRI to aid the clinicians in staging and management.
