Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of breast cancer according to intrinsic subtypes and to investigate whether the MRI and immunohistochemical findings were related to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) effects. Materials and methods: The MRI in 116 women with breast cancers who underwent NAC was reviewed. The mass margin, presence of intratumoral necrosis, tumor extension around the mass, relative signal enhancement (RSE), and kinetic curve pattern were analyzed. We investigated the possible correlations between MRI findings and the effects of NAC. Results: An irregular mass margin was significantly associated with luminal-A cancers, while a smooth mass margin was associated with human epidermal growth factor receptor2 (HER2) cancers. Intratumoral necrosis was significantly associated with triple-negative cancers. Tumor extension around the mass was significantly infrequent in luminal-B cancers and frequent in HER2 cancers. Luminal-B and HER2 cancers showed a significantly higher RSE at 2 min than Luminal-A cancers. Estrogen receptor (ER)-positive cancers, HER2-negative cancers, and presence of intratumoral necrosis were significantly associated with the NAC non-response. Conclusions: Several MR features can be used to predict the intrinsic subtype of breast cancers. ER-positivity, HER2-negativity, and presence of intratumoral necrosis were significantly associated with NAC non-response.
