Popis: Role of MRI in the presurgical work-up of breast cancer: Appropriate utilization of MRI as a complement to mammography and ultrasound. The role of MRI for presurgical local staging of breast cancers amenable to conservative treatment has been the subject of multiple publications and tends to become a « validated » indication in routine practice. The purpose of the paper is to review the advantages and limitations of this imaging modality that is part of a comprehensive management that must be validated by clinical data especially with regards to local recurrence and survival. Knowledge of these elements combined with more precise indications should result in improved patient management while avoiding overtreatment or unnecessary anxiety-producing examinations.
