Abstract    The concept of multidisciplinary treatment of breast cancer has been increasingly accepted in clinical practice of breast cancer care. Investigation of breast MRI on selecting conservative therapy, evaluating residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC), predicting response in the early phase of treatment as well as monitoring recurrence during follow-up has been carried out along with its board clinical application. The advantages of breast MRI in mapping the disease accurately provide measures to select appropriate use of variable treatments and evaluate their effects. It plays an increasing important role in multidisciplinary individualized care for breast cancer.
