We compared the frequency and sequence of breast imaging and biopsy use for the diagnostic and preoperative workup of breast cancer according to breast MRI use among older women. Using SEER-Medicare data from 2004–2010, we identified women with and without breast MRI as part of their diagnostic and preoperative breast cancer workup and measured the number and sequence of breast imaging and biopsy events per woman. 10,766 (20%) women had an MRI in the diagnostic/preoperative period, 32,178 (60%) had mammogram and US, and 10,669 (20%) had mammography alone. MRI use increased across study years, tripling from 2005 to 2009 (9% to 29%). Women with MRI had higher rates of breast imaging and biopsy compared to those with mammogram and US or those with mammography alone (5.8 v 4.1 v 2.8; respectively). There were 4,254 unique sequences of breast events; the dominant patterns for women with MRI were an MRI occurring at the end of the care pathway. Among women receiving an MRI post-diagnosis, 26% had a subsequent biopsy compared to 51% receiving a subsequent biopsy in the sub-group without MRI. Older women who receive breast MRI undergo additional breast imaging and biopsy events. There is much variability in the diagnostic/preoperative work-up in older women, demonstrating the opportunity to increase standardization to optimize care for all women.
