Addition of Contrast-enhanced Mammography to Tomosynthesis for Breast Cancer Detection in Women with a Personal History of Breast Cancer:
将增强型乳腺摄影添加到断层合成中用于有乳腺癌个人病史女性的乳腺癌检测:
Background
背景
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is often inadequate for screening women with a personal history of breast cancer (PHBC). The ongoing prospective Tomosynthesis or Contrast-Enhanced Mammography, or TOCEM, trial includes three annual screenings with both DBT and contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM).
数字乳腺断层合成(DBT)通常不足以筛查有乳腺癌个人病史(PHBC)的女性。正在进行的前瞻性Tomosynthesis或Contrast-Enhanced Mammography(TOCEM)试验包括使用DBT和增强型乳腺摄影(CEM)进行的三次年度筛查。
Method
方法
From October 2019 to December 2022, two radiologists interpreted both examinations: Observer 1 reviewed DBT first and then CEM, and observer 2 reviewed CEM first and then DBT. Effects of adding CEM to DBT on incremental cancer detection rate (ICDR), cancer type and node status, recall rate, and other performance characteristics of the primary radiologist decisions were assessed.
从2019年10月到2022年12月,两位放射科医生对这两种检查进行了解读:观察者1先审查DBT,然后审查CEM,观察者2先审查CEM,然后审查DBT。评估将CEM添加到DBT中的增量癌症检测率(ICDR)、癌症类型和淋巴结状态、召回率以及初级放射科医生决策的其他性能特征的影响。
Conclusion
结论
CEM added to DBT increased early breast cancer detection each year in women with PHBC, with an accompanying approximately 5.0%–6.6% recall rate increase.Clinical trial registration no. NCT04085510
将CEM添加到DBT中,每年都能增加有乳腺癌个人病史(PHBC)女性的早期乳腺癌检测率,同时伴随约5.0%–6.6%的召回率增加。临床试验注册号:NCT04085510
Results
结果
Among the participants (mean age at entry, 63.6 years ± 9.6 [SD]), 1273, 819, and 227 women with PHBC completed year 1, 2, and 3 screening, respectively. For observer 1, year 1 cancer yield was 20 of 1273 (15.7 per 1000 screenings) for DBT and 29 of 1273 (22.8 per 1000 screenings; ICDR, 7.1 per 1000 screenings [95% CI: 3.2, 13.4]) for DBT plus CEM (P < .001). Year 2 plus 3 cancer yield was four of 1046 (3.8 per 1000 screenings) for DBT and eight of 1046 (7.6 per 1000 screenings; ICDR, 3.8 per 1000 screenings [95% CI: 1.0, 7.6]) for DBT plus CEM (P = .001). Year 1 recall rate for observer 1 was 103 of 1273 (8.1%) for (incidence) DBT alone and 187 of 1273 (14.7%) for DBT plus CEM (difference = 84 of 1273, 6.6% [95% CI: 5.3, 8.1]; P < .001). Year 2 plus 3 recall rate was 40 of 1046 (3.8%) for DBT and 92 of 1046 (8.8%) for DBT plus CEM (difference = 52 of 1046, 5.0% [95% CI: 3.7, 6.3]; P < .001). In 18 breasts with cancer detected only at CEM after integration of both observers, 13 (72%) cancers were invasive (median tumor size, 0.6 cm) and eight of nine (88%) with staging were N0. Among 1883 screenings with adequate reference standard, there were three interval cancers (one at the scar, two in axillae).
在参与者中(入组时的平均年龄为63.6岁±9.6 [SD]),分别有1273名、819名和227名有乳腺癌个人病史(PHBC)的女性完成了第1年、第2年和第3年的筛查。对于观察者1,第1年的癌症检出率为DBT单独筛查时1273人中有20例(每千次筛查15.7例),而DBT加CEM筛查时1273人中有29例(每千次筛查22.8例;ICDR,每千次筛查7.1例[95% CI:3.2, 13.4],P < .001)。第2年和第3年的癌症检出率为DBT单独筛查时1046人中有4例(每千次筛查3.8例),而DBT加CEM筛查时1046人中有8例(每千次筛查7.6例;ICDR,每千次筛查3.8例[95% CI:1.0, 7.6],P = .001)。观察者1在第1年的召回率为DBT单独筛查时1273人中有103例(8.1%),而DBT加CEM筛查时1273人中有187例(14.7%;差异=1273人中有84例,6.6%[95% CI:5.3, 8.1],P < .001)。第2年和第3年的召回率为DBT单独筛查时1046人中有40例(3.8%),而DBT加CEM筛查时1046人中有92例(8.8%;差异=1046人中有52例,5.0%[95% CI:3.7, 6.3],P < .001)。在整合了两位观察者后的18例仅在CEM中检测到癌症的乳房中,有13例(72%)癌症为侵袭性(肿瘤中位大小为0.6厘米),并且在进行分期的9例中有8例(88%)为N0。在1883次具有充分参考标准的筛查中,有3例间隔癌症(一例在疤痕处,两例在腋窝处)。

Figure 2: Images in a 67-year-old woman with triple receptor–negative invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) seen only at contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) at year 2. (A) Left craniocaudal (CC) (left) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) (right) low-energy images show scattered fibroglandular density and postsurgical scarring, with clips in the lower inner quadrant at the site of lumpectomy for a 2.1-cm grade 3 IDC, estrogen receptor– and progesterone receptor–positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (ERBB2 gene)–negative lesion 11 years prior. Scattered benign-appearing calcifications are noted. The participant also completed radiation therapy and adjuvant chemotherapy and was treated with tamoxifen for 7 years and then with an aromatase inhibitor for 3 years, with last use 1 year prior to study entry. (B) Recombined CC (left) and MLO (right) CEM images obtained in year 2 show moderately conspicuous enhancement of an oval mass in the upper outer left breast (arrows), which was new from the prior CEM examination (not shown). This lesion was assessed as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 4B, moderately suspicious, by observer 1 and as BI-RADS 3, probably benign, but recommended for additional evaluation, by observer 2. At the time, CEM-guided biopsy was not available, so the participant underwent MRI and MRI-guided biopsy. (C) Axial maximum intensity projection from T1-weighted fat-suppressed MRI (left) shows moderately intense enhancement of the same mass (arrow), with plateau and washout kinetics (arrow) on axial post-contrast fat-suppressed T1-weighted image with kinetic overlay (right). MRI-guided biopsy and excision revealed a 0.5-cm grade 3 IDC, triple receptor–negative lesion (Ki-67 proliferation index of 55%). Three sentinel nodes were negative for metastasis.

Figure 3: Images in a 77-year-old woman with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) seen only at contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) seen only on low-energy (LE) images and digital breast tomosynthesis images at year 2. (A)Bilateral craniocaudal (CC) (left) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) (right) LE images show heterogeneously dense parenchyma and postsurgical changes with dystrophic calcifications in the upper right breast and clips in the right axilla from breast-conserving therapy for a grade 1 IDC, estrogen receptor (ER)– and progesterone receptor (PR)–positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (ERBB2 gene)–negative, 19 years earlier, for which she had taken Anastrozole for 4 years. Only observer 1 recalled the participant for linear calcifications in the left breast (arrows), which are better seen on (B) close-up CC (left) and MLO (right) LE images (arrows) and (C) a spot magnification CC view of the central left breast. In addition to typically benign calcifications more laterally and fine linear calcifications (arrow in C), seenonly on C more anteriorly, there is a group of amorphouscalcifications (circle in C). Both areas of calcification wererecommended for biopsy, despite lack of enhancement on (D) recombined CC (left) and MLO (right) CEM images. A moderately conspicuous enhancing mass in the retroareolar left breast was newly seen, which was only evident at CC CEM (arrow in D) and was assessed as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 4A, low suspicion, by observer 1 and as BI-RADS 4B, moderate suspicion, by observer 2. (E) CEM-directed US images (left = transverse plane, right = longitudinal plane) of the retroareolar left breast show an irregular, hypoechoic mass (arrows) with an echogenic rim, highly suggestive of malignancy (BI-RADS 5). US-guided core biopsy and mastectomy revealed a 2.1-cm grade 3 ER and PR-positive, ERBB2-negative IDC. Stereotactic biopsy of the linear calcifications revealed high-grade ER and PR-positive DCIS, and biopsy of the amorphous calcifications yielded atypical ductal hyperplasia. At mastectomy, 5.5 cm of highnuclear-grade DCIS was found, discontinuous with the retroareolar IDC. One of two sentinel nodes showed isolated tumor cells (N0).

(A)* Close-up craniocaudal (CC) (left) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) (right) digital breast tomosynthesis 6-mm slab images of the right breast show the area of scarring from breast-conserving therapy 2 years earlier for multifocal estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (ERBB2 gene)–positive ILC, interpreted as benign, Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 2, by both observers. The participant completed both neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy and was taking tamoxifen. (B) Close-up CC (left) and MLO (right) recombined contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) images show nonmass enhancement at the scar (arrows), interpreted as benign, BI-RADS 2, by both observers. (C) US scan in longitudinal plane (left) obtained 6 months later, when theparticipant reported feeling a lump at the scar, shows a superficial irregular, parallel, hypoechoic mass (arrow) at the scar; the mass shows internal vascularity on transverse power Doppler scan (right, arrow). US-guided core biopsy and mastectomy revealed a 2.4-cm grade 3 ILC, ER-positive, PR-negative, HER2-positive lesion (Ki-67 proliferation index of 90%), with one of two sentinel nodes showing isolated tumor cells (N0).
