Our study is the largest to examine the association between MRI and mastectomy rates at a single institution and may reflect national trends
Although MRI was associated with a higher mastectomy rate, we cannot assume it is a cause-and-effect relationship
More investigation at an individual level is needed to understand better how MRI may impact personal choices for breast cancer surgery
What we don't know from this study is whether the higher rate of mastectomy observed in our patients undergoing MRI is related to the detection of additional disease, or whether the uncertainty raised by MRI leads to greater anxiety for the patient and physician, thus leading patients and physicians to choose mastectomy over lumpectomy
