Abstract

The current practice of pre-operative imaging in breast cancer is highly varied throughout Europe. Therefore, the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) launched a call to all other European scientific societies involved in breast care to provide expert advice for pre-operative imaging in breast cancer and come to a common understanding of the types of evidence required for clinical practice guidelines for diagnostic tests. A panel comprising 13 experts (invited based on their level of expertise and representation in medical societies) voted on statements and questions encompassing all aspects of pre-operative staging. Consensus was reached in 67.4% of statements and questions, a majority in 28.3%, and no decision in 4.3%. Based on these findings, the panel developed a practical toolbox, based on currently available evidence and panel expertise, for the optimal breast cancer staging pathway considering all current imaging methods.

Key Points

Question What is the role of breast MRI and other imaging methods in pre-operative staging in the light of current evidence?

Findings Consensus was reached among panelists in 67.4% of statements and questions, a majority in 28.3%, and no decision in 4.3%.

Clinical relevance A practical working toolbox for optimal breast cancer staging is provided based on currently available evidence and panel expertise.
