Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is an important risk factor for prognosis of breast cancer and an unfavorable prognostic factor in node-negative invasive breast cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between LVI and pre-operative features of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in node-negative invasive breast cancer. ⋯ We suggest that DCE-MRI with DWI would assist in predicting LVI status in node-negative invasive breast cancer patients.
