Popis: Abstract Background The purpose of the study was to assess the correlation between peritumoral edema (PE) seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in breast cancer and the established pathological prognostic factors like tumor histology and molecular subtype, grade, Ki67 index, lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and nodal stage. The breast MRI and pathological data of post-surgery specimen of 126 breast cancer patients over a period of 18 months were retrospectively studied. Those who received neoadjuvant therapy, had non-invasive, locally advanced, inflammatory and bilateral breast cancers were excluded. Patients were divided into two groups based on finding of peritumoral edema on T2w MRI images: Group A with PE (n = 88) and Group B without PE (n = 38). Pathological results for the two groups were analyzed and compared using Chi square test. p values of
