Peritumoral edema in breast cancer at preoperative MRI: an interpretative study with histopathological review toward understanding tumor microenvironment

Abstract Peritumoral edema (PE) of breast cancer at T2-weighted MR images is considered a poor prognostic sign and may represent the microenvironment surrounding the tumor; however, its histopathological mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of the study was to identify and describe detailed histop...
