Values are mean ± SD or no. (%);

Subjects were excluded from the summary due to missing values: family history (n=8), breast density (n=2), DCIS ER status (n=24), DCIS necrosis (n=9), and DCIS grade (n=1);

Three surgeons treated 20 patients total, so these three surgeons were grouped together to facilitate the statistical comparison between pMRI and no-pMRI groups.
