Conclusion

The very high-risk breast cancer screening recall rate in our screening service is higher than the standard NHS screening rate. There is a low recall threshold in very high-risk breast screening MRI reporting due to multiple factors. The high percentage of benign biopsies in our data is reassuring and provides convincing evidence to dismiss biopsies of benign-appearing lesions on the MRI. This will help reduce the recall rate and the emotional burden on the patients.

Recommendations:

  • Improve the quality of MRI Breast by reviewing radiographer techniques and reducing artefacts.
  • Ensure LMP dates are recorded as accurately as possible.
  • Consider introducing enhancement/kinetic curves to characterise the benign lesions precisely in indeterminate and small lesions and optimise recall rates.
  •  There should be a consensus among 2 or 3 radiologists regarding recalling to assess indeterminate lesions.
