Addition of Contrast-enhanced Mammography to Tomosynthesis for Breast Cancer Detection in Women with a Personal History of Breast Cancer: Prospective TOCEM Trial Interim Analysis.

Background 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). Purpose To perform interim assessment of cancer yield, stage, and recall rate when CEM is added to DBT in women with PHBC. Materials and Methods 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. Results 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). Conclusion 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.

Upgrade Rates of Variant Lobular Carcinoma In Situ Compared to Classic Lobular Carcinoma In Situ Diagnosed in Core Needle Biopsies: A 10-Year Single Institution Retrospective Study.

The primary aim of this study was to determine the upgrade rates of variant lobular carcinoma in situ (V-LCIS, ie, combined florid [F-LCIS] and pleomorphic [P-LCIS]) compared with classic LCIS (C-LCIS) when diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB). The secondary goal was to determine the rate of progression/development of invasive carcinoma on long-term follow-up after primary excision. After institutional review board approval, our institutional pathology database was searched for patients with "pure" LCIS diagnosed on CNB who underwent subsequent excision. Radiologic findings were reviewed, radiologic-pathologic (rad-path) correlation was performed, and follow-up patient outcome data were obtained. One hundred twenty cases of LCIS were identified on CNB (C-LCIS = 97, F-LCIS = 18, and P-LCIS = 5). Overall upgrade rates after excision for C-LCIS, F-LCIS, and P-LCIS were 14% (14/97), 44% (8/18), and 40% (2/5), respectively. Of the total cases, 79 (66%) were deemed rad-path concordant. Of these, the upgrade rate after excision for C-LCIS, F-LCIS, and P-LCIS was 7.5% (5 of 66), 40% (4 of 10), and 0% (0 of 3), respectively. The overall upgrade rate for V-LCIS was higher than for C-LCIS (P = .004), even for the cases deemed rad-path concordant (P value: .036). Most upgraded cases (23 of 24) showed pT1a disease or lower. With an average follow-up of 83 months, invasive carcinoma in the ipsilateral breast was identified in 8/120 (7%) cases. Six patients had died: 2 of (contralateral) breast cancer and 4 of other causes. Because of a high upgrade rate, V-LCIS diagnosed on CNB should always be excised. The upgrade rate for C-LCIS (even when rad-path concordant) is higher than reported in many other studies. Rad-path concordance read, surgical consultation, and individualized decision making are recommended for C-LCIS cases. The risk of developing invasive carcinoma after LCIS diagnosis is small (7% with ∼7-year follow-up), but active surveillance is required to diagnose early-stage disease.

Breast Radiologists' Perceptions on the Detection and Management of Invasive Lobular Carcinoma: Most Agree Imaging Beyond Mammography Is Warranted.

OBJECTIVE: To determine breast radiologists' confidence in detecting invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) on mammography and the perceived need for additional imaging in screening and preoperative settings. METHODS: A 16-item anonymized survey was developed, and IRB exemption obtained, by the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) Patient Care and Delivery Committee and the Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance. The survey was emailed to 2946 radiologist SBI members on February 15, 2023. The survey recorded demographics, perceived modality-specific sensitivity for ILC to the nearest decile, and opinions on diagnosing ILC in screening and staging imaging. Five-point Likert scales were used (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neutral, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree). RESULTS: Response rate was 12.4% (366/2946). Perceived median (interquartile range) modality-specific sensitivities for ILC were MRI 90% (80-90), contrast-enhanced mammography 80% (70-90), molecular breast imaging 80% (60-90), digital breast tomosynthesis 70% (60-80), US 60% (50-80), and 2D mammography 50% (30-60). Only 25% (85/340) respondents were confident in detecting ILC on screening mammography in dense breasts, while 67% (229/343) were confident if breasts were nondense. Most agreed that supplemental screening is needed to detect ILC in women with dense breasts (272/344, 79%) or a personal history of ILC (248/341, 73%), with 34% (118/334) indicating that supplemental screening would also benefit women with nondense breasts. Most agreed that additional imaging is needed to evaluate extent of disease in women with newly diagnosed ILC, regardless of breast density (dense 320/329, 97%; nondense 263/329, 80%). CONCLUSION: Most breast radiologists felt that additional imaging beyond mammography is needed to more confidently screen for and stage ILC.

Artificial Intelligence for Breast Ultrasound: AJR Expert Panel Narrative Review.

Breast ultrasound is used in a wide variety of clinical scenarios, including both diagnostic and screening applications. Limitations of ultrasound, however, include its low specificity and, for automated breast ultrasound screening, the time necessary to review whole-breast ultrasound images. As of this writing, four AI tools that are approved or cleared by the FDA address these limitations. Current tools, which are intended to provide decision support for lesion classification and/or detection, have been shown to increase specificity among non-specialists and to decrease interpretation times. Potential future applications include triage of patients with palpable masses in low-resource settings, preoperative prediction of axillary lymph node metastasis, and preoperative prediction of neoadjuvant chemotherapy response. Challenges in the development and clinical deployment of AI for ultrasound include: the limited availability of curated training datasets compared to mammography; the high variability in ultrasound image acquisition due to equipment- and operator-related factors (which may limit algorithm generalizability); and the lack of post-implementation evaluation studies. Furthermore, current AI tools for lesion classification were developed based on 2D data, but diagnostic accuracy could potentially be improved if multimodal ultrasound data were used, such as color Doppler, elastography, cine clips, and 3D imaging.

Assessment of Background Parenchymal Enhancement at Dynamic Contrast-enhanced MRI in Predicting Breast Cancer Recurrence Risk.

Background Background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) at dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI of cancer-free breasts increases the risk of developing breast cancer; implications of quantitative BPE in ipsilateral breasts with breast cancer are largely unexplored. Purpose To determine whether quantitative BPE measurements in one or both breasts could be used to predict recurrence risk in women with breast cancer, using the Oncotype DX recurrence score as the reference standard. Materials and Methods This HIPAA-compliant retrospective single-institution study included women diagnosed with breast cancer between January 2007 and January 2012 (development set) and between January 2012 and January 2017 (internal test set). Quantitative BPE was automatically computed using an in-house-developed computer algorithm in both breasts. Univariable logistic regression was used to examine the association of BPE with Oncotype DX recurrence score binarized into high-risk (recurrence score >25) and low- or intermediate-risk (recurrence score ≤25) categories. Models including BPE measures were assessed for their ability to distinguish patients with high risk versus those with low or intermediate risk and the actual recurrence outcome. Results The development set included 127 women (mean age, 58 years ± 10.2 [SD]; 33 with high risk and 94 with low or intermediate risk) with an actual local or distant recurrence rate of 15.7% (20 of 127) at a minimum 10 years of follow-up. The test set included 60 women (mean age, 57.8 years ± 11.6; 16 with high risk and 44 with low or intermediate risk). BPE measurements quantified in both breasts were associated with increased odds of a high-risk Oncotype DX recurrence score (odds ratio range, 1.27-1.66 [95% CI: 1.02, 2.56]; P < .001 to P = .04). Measures of BPE combined with tumor radiomics helped distinguish patients with a high-risk Oncotype DX recurrence score from those with a low- or intermediate-risk score, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.94 in the development set and 0.79 in the test set. For the combined models, the negative predictive values were 0.97 and 0.93 in predicting actual distant recurrence and local recurrence, respectively. Conclusion Ipsilateral and contralateral DCE MRI measures of BPE quantified in patients with breast cancer can help distinguish patients with high recurrence risk from those with low or intermediate recurrence risk, similar to Oncotype DX recurrence score. © RSNA, 2024 Supplemental material is available for this article.

Tubular Adenoma of the Breast: Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation.

Breast tubular adenomas (TAs) are rare, benign glandular epithelial tumors that arise from a proliferation of acini in the terminal duct lobular units. In the literature, 40 TA cases have previously been reported, and we describe 5 additional cases in this article. In the small number of reported cases, TAs present most often in women of reproductive age but may also occur in postmenopausal women. Mammographically and sonographically, TAs are almost indistinguishable from fibroadenomas (FAs), and they typically present on US as hypoechoic, oval, circumscribed, parallel masses with variable internal vascularity. TAs can also be seen on mammography as oval masses with microlobulated margins, or as grouped coarse, heterogeneous microcalcifications with or without associated mass or asymmetry. On MRI, TAs present as heterogeneously enhancing, T2-hyperintense oval masses with persistent kinetics. Histopathologically, TAs consist of closely packed round tubules with minimal stroma, in distinction to FAs, which have a prominent stromal component that surrounds and can distort the associated tubules. Because of their benign classification and excellent prognosis, patients with biopsy-confirmed TAs may resume routine screening. Complete surgical excision may be considered for cosmetic purposes or for TAs exhibiting associated suspicious calcifications or rapid growth.

Implementing the National Dense Breast Reporting Standard, Expanding Supplemental Screening Using Current Guidelines, and the Proposed Find It Early Act.

Thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia (DC) have dense breast notification laws that mandate varying levels of patient notification about breast density after a mammogram, and these cover over 90% of American women. On March 10, 2023, the Food and Drug Administration issued a final rule amending regulations under the Mammography Quality Standards Act for a national dense breast reporting standard for both patient results letters and mammogram reports. Effective September 10, 2024, letters will be required to tell a woman her breasts are "dense" or "not dense," that dense tissue makes it harder to find cancers on a mammogram, and that it increases the risk of developing cancer. Women with dense breasts will also be told that other imaging tests in addition to a mammogram may help find cancers. The specific density category can be added (eg, if mandated by a state "inform" law). Reports to providers must include the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System density category. Implementing appropriate supplemental screening should be based on patient risk for missed breast cancer on mammography; such assessment should include consideration of breast density and other risk factors. This article discusses strategies for implementation. Currently 21 states and DC have varying insurance laws for supplemental breast imaging; in addition, Oklahoma requires coverage for diagnostic breast imaging. A federal insurance bill, the Find It Early Act, has been introduced that would ensure no-cost screening and diagnostic imaging for women with dense breasts or at increased risk and close loopholes in state laws.

Analytic Hierarchy Process Analysis of Patient Preferences for Contrast-Enhanced Mammography Versus MRI as Supplemental Screening Options for Breast Cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To guide implementation of supplemental breast screening by assessing patient preferences for contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) versus MRI using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology. METHODS: In an institutional review board-approved, HIPAA-compliant protocol, from March 23 to June 3, 2022, we contacted 579 women who had both CEM screening and MRI. Women were e-mailed an invitation to complete an online survey developed using an AHP-based model to elicit preferences for CEM or MRI. Methods for categorical data analysis were used to evaluate factors affecting preferences, under the Bonferroni correction for multiplicity. RESULTS: Complete responses were received from 222 (38.3%) women; the 189 women with a personal history of breast cancer had a mean age 61.8 years, and the 34 women without a personal history of breast cancer had a mean age of 53.6 years. Of 222 respondents, 157 (70.7%, confidence interval [CI]: 64.7-76.7) were determined to prefer CEM to MRI. Breast positioning was the most important criterion for 74 of 222 (33.3%) respondents, with claustrophobia, intravenous line placement, and overall stress most important for 38, 37, and 39 women (17.1%, 16.7%, and 17.6%), respectively, and noise level, contrast injection, and indifference being emphasized least frequently (by 10 [4.5%], 11 [5.0%], and 13 [5.9%] women, respectively). CEM preference was most prevalent (MRI least prevalent) for respondents emphasizing claustrophobia (37 of 38 [97%], CI: 86.2-99.9); CEM preference was least prevalent (MRI most prevalent) for respondents emphasizing breast positioning (40 of 74 [54%], CI: 42.1-65.7). CONCLUSIONS: AHP-based modeling reveals strong patient preferences for CEM over MRI, with claustrophobia favoring preference for CEM and breast positioning relatively favoring preference for MRI. Our results should help guide implementation of screening CEM and MRI.

Response in axillary lymph nodes to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancers: correlation with breast response, pathologic features, and accuracy of radioactive seed localization.

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the accuracy of radioactive seed localization (RSL) of lymph nodes (LNs) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for invasive breast carcinoma, recorded pathologic features of LNs following NAC, evaluated concordance of response between breast and LNs, and identified clinicopathologic factors associated with higher risk of residual lymph node involvement. METHODS: Clinical records, imaging, and pathology reports and slides were retrospectively reviewed for 174 breast cancer patients who received NAC. Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used to compare differences in risk of residual lymph node disease. RESULTS: Retrieval of biopsied pre-therapy positive LN was confirmed in 86/93 (88%) cases overall, and in 75/77 (97%) of cases utilizing RSL. Biopsy clip site was the best pathologic feature to confirm retrieval of a biopsied lymph node. Pre-therapy clinical N stage > 0, positive pre-therapy lymph node biopsy, estrogen and progesterone receptor positivity, Ki67 < 50%, HR + /HER2- tumors, and residual breast disease had higher likelihood of residual lymph node disease after NAC (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: RSL-guided LN excision improves retrieval of previously biopsied LNs following NAC. The pathologist can use histologic features to confirm retrieval of targeted LNs, and tumor characteristics can be used to predict a higher risk of residual LN involvement.

Toward AI-supported US Triage of Women with Palpable Breast Lumps in a Low-Resource Setting.

Background Most low- and middle-income countries lack access to organized breast cancer screening, and women with lumps may wait months for diagnostic assessment. Purpose To demonstrate that artificial intelligence (AI) software applied to breast US images obtained with low-cost portable equipment and by minimally trained observers could accurately classify palpable breast masses for triage in a low-resource setting. Materials and Methods This prospective multicenter study evaluated participants with at least one palpable mass who were enrolled in a hospital in Jalisco, Mexico, from December 2017 through May 2021. Orthogonal US images were obtained first with portable US with and without calipers of any findings at the site of lump and adjacent tissue. Then women were imaged with standard-of-care (SOC) US with Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System assessments by a radiologist. After exclusions, 758 masses in 300 women were analyzable by AI, with outputs of benign, probably benign, suspicious, and malignant. Sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were determined. Results The mean patient age ± SD was 50.0 years ± 12.5 (range, 18-92 years) and mean largest lesion diameter was 13 mm ± 8 (range, 2-54 mm). Of 758 masses, 360 (47.5%) were palpable and 56 (7.4%) malignant, including six ductal carcinoma in situ. AI correctly identified 47 or 48 of 49 women (96%-98%) with cancer with either portable US or SOC US images, with AUCs of 0.91 and 0.95, respectively. One circumscribed invasive ductal carcinoma was classified as probably benign with SOC US, ipsilateral to a spiculated invasive ductal carcinoma. Of 251 women with benign masses, 168 (67%) imaged with SOC US were classified as benign or probably benign by AI, as were 96 of 251 masses (38%, P < .001) with portable US. AI performance with images obtained by a radiologist was significantly better than with images obtained by a minimally trained observer. Conclusion AI applied to portable US images of breast masses can accurately identify malignancies. Moderate specificity, which could triage 38%-67% of women with benign masses without tertiary referral, should further improve with AI and observer training with portable US. © RSNA, 2023 Supplemental material is available for this article.

Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia: Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign mesenchymal proliferative lesion of the breast. PASH is postulated to be hormonally induced and predominantly occurs in premenopausal women and postmenopausal women on menopausal hormone therapy. Clinical presentation varies from screen-detected lesions to palpable masses. Imaging findings of PASH are nonspecific. The most common mammographic findings are an oval or round circumscribed non-calcified mass or developing asymmetry. On US, PASH is often seen as an oval hypoechoic mass that may be circumscribed and can have an echogenic rim, or, when manifest as mammographic asymmetry, US may show a corresponding non-mass focal area of echogenic tissue. Limited studies have investigated the MRI appearance, with PASH most often manifesting as non-mass enhancement, or, less often, as an oval or irregular mass with persistent kinetics. Histopathologically, PASH can be mistaken for a fibroadenoma or phyllodes tumor and has features overlapping low-grade angiosarcoma. Assessment of radiologic-pathologic concordance is particularly important as PASH is often an incidental finding, adjacent to the targeted lesion at histopathology. Surgical excision or repeat core-needle biopsy is necessary for discordant suspicious cases. After a benign, concordant diagnosis of PASH, the patient may resume routine screening.

Prospective Multicenter Diagnostic Performance of Technologist-Performed Screening Breast Ultrasound After Tomosynthesis in Women With Dense Breasts (the DBTUST).

PURPOSE: To assess diagnostic performance of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) alone or combined with technologist-performed handheld screening ultrasound (US) in women with dense breasts. METHODS: In an institutional review board-approved, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant multicenter protocol in western Pennsylvania, 6,179 women consented to three rounds of annual screening, interpreted by two radiologist observers, and had appropriate follow-up. Primary analysis was based on first observer results. RESULTS: Mean participant age was 54.8 years (range, 40-75 years). Across 17,552 screens, there were 126 cancer events in 125 women (7.2/1,000; 95% CI, 5.9 to 8.4). In year 1, DBT-alone cancer yield was 5.0/1,000, and of DBT+US, 6.3/1,000, difference 1.3/1,000 (95% CI, 0.3 to 2.1; P = .005). In years 2 + 3, DBT cancer yield was 4.9/1,000, and of DBT+US, 5.9/1,000, difference 1.0/1,000 (95% CI, 0.4 to 1.5; P < .001). False-positive rate increased from 7.0% for DBT in year 1 to 11.5% for DBT+US and from 5.9% for DBT in year 2 + 3 to 9.7% for DBT+US (P < .001 for both). Nine cancers were seen only by double reading DBT and one by double reading US. Ten interval cancers (0.6/1,000 [95% CI, 0.2 to 0.9]) were identified. Despite reduction in specificity, addition of US improved receiver operating characteristic curves, with area under receiver operating characteristic curve increasing from 0.83 for DBT alone to 0.92 for DBT+US in year 1 (P = .01), with smaller improvements in subsequent years. Of 6,179 women, across all 3 years, 172/6,179 (2.8%) unique women had a false-positive biopsy because of DBT as did another 230/6,179 (3.7%) women because of US (P < .001). CONCLUSION: Overall added cancer detection rate of US screening after DBT was modest at 19/17,552 (1.1/1,000; CI, 0.5- to 1.6) screens but potentially overcomes substantial increases in false-positive recalls and benign biopsies.

Diabetic Fibrous Mastopathy: Imaging Features With Histopathologic Correlation.

Diabetic fibrous mastopathy (DFM) is a rare benign fibrotic disease of the breast that develops in patients with longstanding and often uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Clinically, patients may present with an irregular, firm, palpable mass, which may be solitary or multiple, occurring in one or both breasts. Diabetic fibrous mastopathy occurs most often in premenopausal women with heterogeneously or extremely dense breasts; mammography may show focal asymmetry or, less often, a noncalcified mass with indistinct or obscured margins, but there are usually no discrete findings. On US, DFM may have marked hypoechogenicity and posterior shadowing secondary to extensive fibrosis. Diabetic fibrous mastopathy features on contrast-enhanced MRI are also nonspecific, with gradual persistent nonmass enhancement reported. Because the clinical presentation and US features of DFM overlap with those of breast cancer, histopathologic correlation is needed to confirm diagnosis and exclude malignancy. These findings include collagenous stroma often with keloidal features and chronic perilobular and perivascular inflammation. Histopathologic findings of lymphocytic lobulitis and perivascular inflammation are common to other autoimmune conditions.

Contrast-enhanced Mammography-guided Biopsy: Initial Trial and Experience.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate lesion visibility and radiologist confidence during contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM)-guided biopsy. METHODS: Women with BI-RADS ≥4A enhancing breast lesions were prospectively recruited for 9-g vacuum-assisted CEM-guided biopsy. Breast density, background parenchymal enhancement (BPE), lesion characteristics (enhancement and conspicuity), radiologist confidence (scale 1-5), and acquisition times were collected. Signal intensities in specimens were analyzed. Patient surveys were collected. RESULTS: A cohort of 28 women aged 40-81 years (average 57) had 28 enhancing lesions (7/28, 25% malignant). Breast tissue was scattered (10/28, 36%) or heterogeneously dense (18/28, 64%) with minimal (12/28, 43%), mild (7/28, 25%), or moderate (9/28, 32%) BPE on CEM. Twelve non-mass enhancements, 11 masses, 3 architectural distortions, and 2 calcification groups demonstrated weak (12/28, 43%), moderate (14/28, 50%), or strong (2/28, 7%) enhancement. Specimen radiography demonstrated lesion enhancement in 27/28 (96%). Radiologists reported complete lesion removal on specimen radiography in 8/28 (29%). Average time from contrast injection to specimen radiography was 18 minutes (SD = 5) and, to post-procedure mammogram (PPM), 34 minutes (SD = 10). Contrast-enhanced mammography PPM was performed in 27/28 cases; 13/19 (68%) of incompletely removed lesions on specimen radiography showed residual enhancement; 6/19 (32%) did not. Across all time points, average confidence was 2.2 (SD = 1.2). Signal intensities of enhancing lesions were similar to iodine. Patients had an overall positive assessment. CONCLUSION: Lesion enhancement persisted through PPM and was visible on low energy specimen radiography, with an average "confident" score. Contrast-enhanced mammography-guided breast biopsy is easily implemented clinically. Its availability will encourage adoption of CEM.

Effect of an Educational Intervention on Women's Health Care Provider Knowledge Gaps About Breast Cancer Risk Model Use and High-risk Screening Recommendations.

OBJECTIVE: To assess effectiveness of a web-based educational intervention on women's health care provider knowledge of breast cancer risk models and high-risk screening recommendations. METHODS: A web-based pre- and post-test study including 177 U.S.-based women's health care providers was conducted in 2019. Knowledge gaps were defined as fewer than 75% of respondents answering correctly. Pre- and post-test knowledge differences (McNemar test) and associations of baseline characteristics with pre-test knowledge gaps (logistic regression) were evaluated. RESULTS: Respondents included 131/177 (74.0%) physicians; 127/177 (71.8%) practiced obstetrics/gynecology. Pre-test, 118/177 (66.7%) knew the Gail model predicts lifetime invasive breast cancer risk; this knowledge gap persisted post-test [(121/177, 68.4%); P = 0.77]. Just 39.0% (69/177) knew the Gail model identifies women eligible for risk-reducing medications; this knowledge gap resolved. Only 48.6% (86/177) knew the Gail model should not be used to identify women meeting high-risk MRI screening guidelines; this deficiency decreased to 66.1% (117/177) post-test (P = 0.001). Pre-test, 47.5% (84/177) knew the Tyrer-Cuzick model is used to identify women meeting high-risk screening MRI criteria, 42.9% (76/177) to predict BRCA1/2 pathogenic mutation risk, and 26.0% (46/177) to predict lifetime invasive breast cancer risk. These knowledge gaps persisted but improved. For a high-risk 30-year-old, 67.8% (120/177) and 54.2% (96/177) pre-test knew screening MRI and mammography/tomosynthesis are recommended, respectively; 19.2% (34/177) knew both are recommended; and 53% (94/177) knew US is not recommended. These knowledge gaps resolved or reduced. CONCLUSION: Web-based education can reduce important provider knowledge gaps about breast cancer risk models and high-risk screening recommendations.
