Key Points

• Existing evidence suggests that preoperative breast MRI does not improve treatment outcomes for DCIS.
• The quality of the available data used to answer this question is poor.
• Quality randomized controlled trials are needed to definitively assess the benefits and harms of preoperative MRI in the setting of DCIS.
