Evaluation of Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Impact on Mastectomy Rate at Summa Akron City Hospital
The primary goal of this study is to determine if preoperative breast MRI findings resulted
in more extensive surgery, i.e., mastectomy than breast conserving surgery, i.e., lumpectomy
in early stage breast cancers at Summa Akron City Hospital. Early stage breast cancer is
defined as breast tumor size less than 5 cm.
The objectives are to:
- Review early stage breast cancer patient cases treated at Summa Akron City Hospital
between 2006 and 2009 to evaluate clinical and pathological staging
- Determine the results of preoperative breast MRI and the impact on type of surgery
performed
- Evaluate the decision to have mastectomy rather than lumpectomy, i.e., physician or
patient decision and if this decision was based on breast MRI findings
in more extensive surgery, i.e., mastectomy than breast conserving surgery, i.e., lumpectomy
in early stage breast cancers at Summa Akron City Hospital. Early stage breast cancer is
defined as breast tumor size less than 5 cm.

Early stage breast cancer cases between 2006 and 2009 will be identified by the Summa Akron
City Hospital cancer registry. The cases will be reviewed and abstracted. The abstracted
data will include results of physical breast examinations, mammograms, sonograms, breast MRI
reports, biopsy procedure notes and pathology reports to illustrate the clinical stage.
Definitive surgical pathology reports will be included in the abstracted data to demonstrate
the final pathologic stage of the breast cancer.
A database will be developed to capture the abstracted data. Outcomes will be determined
based on final pathology reports.
