Summary

The study is a prospective randomised multicenter trial assessing the additional value of breast MRI in women under 56 years of age with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Will preoperative breast MRI change treatment regimen? Will preoperative breast MRI reduce the number of primary surgeries? Will preoperative breast MRI increase the rate of mastectomies? Will preoperative breast MRI be cost effective?

Detailed description
