For sonographically guided core biopsy of the breast, the rate of underestimation of ADH was 48%. This rate was lower for lesions evaluated with 11-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy (22%) than for those evaluated with 14-gauge automated gun biopsy (65%). This finding was particularly true of smaller lesions (≤ 2.0 cm) and for lesions of the mass-only type

This is an interesting proof of concept study from UCLA showing how you could potentially use everyday tracker devices used for stock inventopry to identify and mark lesions in the breast. The combination of RFID tags and a new handheld RFID detector shows promise for preoperative imaging-guided tumor localization

Fat necrosis may mimic malignancy with varying appearances on MRI. Suspicious morphologic and kinetic features may be present, necessitating biopsy to exclude new or recurrent breast cancer

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI for Prediction of Breast Cancer Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Initial Results

Reduction of less than 25% in largest diameter of late enhancement during neoadjuvant chemotherapy shows the potential to predict residual tumor after therapy with high specificity.
This paper however continues the trend to measure anatomical dimensions, which are late responses to chemotherapy, and do not give the early feedback about neoadjuvant response

Dual-Time-Point 18F-FDG PET/CT Versus Dynamic Breast MRI of Suspicious Breast Lesions
Dual-Time-Point 18F-FDG PET/CT Versus Dynamic Breast MRI of Suspicious Breast Lesions

Link to journal
A dual time point improves PET/CT accuracy in patients with a suspected breast malignancy over single-time-point PET/CT. On PET/CT, FDG is increasingly taken up over time in breast tumors; conversely, benign lesions show a decrease in FDG uptake over time. These changes in SUV might represent a reliable parameter that can be used to differentiate benign from malignant lesions of the breast on PET/CT examination

From a cost-effectiveness perspective, MR lymphangiography strategies for axillary staging of early breast cancer are preferred over SLN biopsy alone. The sensitivity of MR lymphangiography is a critical determinant of the cost-effectiveness of MR lymphangiography strategies and merits further investigation in the care of patients with early breast cancer
