dc.description.abstractPURPOSE: To evaluate the relationships between female hormone levels and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) or apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of breast parenchyma, as well as the effects of BPE and ADC values on cancer visibility.

METHODS: This prospective study was performed in 164 consecutive premenopausal patients who were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer from November 2016 to December 2018. Two radiologists analyzed the qualitative, quantitative BPE and ADC values of normal contralateral breast parenchyma. We also analyzed the cancer visibility using a three-point scale (0: no visibility, 1: slight visibility, 2: excellent visibility).

RESULTS: The progesterone level was significantly correlated with qualitative BPE grade and quantitative values of the BPE, as well as with the mean ADC. On contrast enhanced image (CEI), the visibility score was significantly associated with tumor size, qualitative and quantitative BPE. On diffusion weighted image (DWI), tumor size was significantly associated with the visibility score, whereas the ADC value was not. Of four lesions with a score of 0 on CEI, three had a score of 2 and one a score of 1 on DWI. Regarding the visibility score on DWI, tumor size and histologic type were significantly different among the three groups.

CONCLUSIONS: Qualitative or quantitative BPE of breast parenchyma was positively correlated with the progesterone level and the mean ADC was negatively correlated. The cancer visibility was affected by BPE on CEI, but not by ADC on DWI. Small-sized cancer and invasive lobular cancer could be the causes of false-negative diagnoses on DWI.
