Breast cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm in female population. The complexity of early breast carcinoma diagnostics is conditioned by the variability of the breast structure during life, as well as cyclic, hormone conditioned changes. Today, the most important and the most widely applied radiological modality is mammography, which value has been proved by many studies. Up-to-date diagnostic algorithm also includes the breast evaluation by ultrasound with the probes of 7.5 and 10 MHz that provide for high tissue resolution. Magnetic resonance currently presents the most up-to-date visualization modality. Its basic technical possibilities: multiplanarity, high area, and tissue resolution combined with biological noninvasiveness, unambiguously make MR the most sensitive and the most specific radiological method for evaluation of the majority of organism regions.

Breast cancer in (42-48) % of cases is a multicentric or multifocal process. Multicentricity of the tumor is the presence of several tumor foci located in different quadrants (segments) of the breast; multifocality is the presence of several tumor foci in one square or segment. Multifocal and multicentric cancers evidently are biologically different diseases. The importance of identifying all the foci is that with a multicentric lesion, more radical types of surgical treatment are applied. With cancer monocentricity, organ-preserving surgery is predominantly chosen, and with multicentricity – radical mastectomy. Multifocality not detected at the preoperative stage and, especially, multicentricity is the cause of relapses in more than 40 % of cases. The purpose of the review is to consider the information content and effectiveness of radiation diagnostic technologies in the aspect of identification of multicentric and multifocal breast cancer. X-ray mammography, full-format digital X-ray mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, multispiral computed tomography, infrared thermography of transmission optical tomography, sonography, digital tomosynthesis, mammoscintigraphy, electric impedance mammography are considered. Key words: multifocal and multicentric cancer, mammography, magnetic resonance mammography, multispiral computer tomography, mammoscintigraphy, sonography, electric impedance mammography.

Women with newly diagnosed breast cancer may have lesions undetected by conventional imaging. Recently contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance mammography (CE-MRM) showed higher sensitivity in breast lesions detection. The present analysis was aimed at evaluating the benefit of preoperative CE-MRM in the surgical planning. From 2005 to 2009, 525 consecutive women (25–75 years) with breast cancer, newly diagnosed by mammography, ultrasound, and needle-biopsy, underwent CE-MRM. The median invasive tumour size was 19 mm. In 144 patients, CE-MRM identified additional lesions. After secondlook, 119 patients underwent additional biopsy. CE-MRM altered surgery in 118 patients: 57 received double lumpectomy or wider excision (41 beneficial), 41 required mastectomy (40 beneficial), and 20 underwent contra lateral surgery (18 beneficial). The overall false-positive rate was 27.1% (39/144). CE-MRM contributed significantly to the management of breast cancer, suggesting more extensive disease in 144/525 (27.4%) patients and changing the surgical plan in 118/525 (22.5%) patients (99/525, 18.8% beneficial).

Aims: To study the importance of differential diagnosis of breast cancer using Magnetic resonance mammography. Study Design:  Cohort Study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted Republican Specialized Scientific-Practical Medical Center of Oncology and Radiology between 2017 and 2019. Methodology: The study included a clinical and instrumental examination of 70 women with suspected breast cancer. The age of the patients was 26-75 years (average age - 49.0 ± 2 years). All patients underwent core biopsy. The procedure was performed in a horizontal position of the patient, a needle was brought in and a “shot” was performed, during which a tissue sample was taken from the focus of interest. In 5 (7.1%) cases, the second stage of verification of the diagnosis was carried out through sectoral resection with an urgent histological examination. The resulting material is sent for cytological and histological studies. Results: The sensitivity of x-ray mammography in detecting breast tumors was 83.4%, specificity 60.0%. The sensitivity of ultrasound in the diagnosis of breast cancer was 86.4%, specificity - 44.8%. In our observations of breast MRI, the sensitivity was 97.5%, specificity 87.2%. Magnetic resonance mammography is considered a more effective method in the early diagnosis of breast cancer. Conclusion: Breast MRI is highly sensitive, specific and accurate in assessing the prevalence and differential diagnosis between a benign and malignant process.
