MRIs are more accurate at catching breast cancer at a small size than a mammogram and are especially great for people who have dense breast tissue. Hawasli explained that for those in the high-risk group, meaning their lifetime risk is greater than 20%, MRIs have been shown to improve sur...
high‐risk screeningMRI‐detected breast cancerGuidelines for high‐risk screening with MRI were introduced by the American Cancer Society in 2007, based on superior sensitivity of MRI over mammography, albeit without proven mortality reduction. The mortality end point is still unconfirmed, but ...

Women with additional risk factors placing them at higher-than-average risk for developing breast cancer need further consideration for earlier and/or more intensive screening [5]. These women typically have, at age < 40 years, risk equivalent to or higher than that of an average-risk woman ...
Background: We aimed to develop and validate a model predicting breast cancer risk for women targeted by breast cancer screening. Method: This retrospective cohort study included 57,411 women screened at least once in BreastScreen Norway during the perio
This guideline updates the American Cancer Society breast cancer screening recommendations for women at average risk for breast cancer.
Although it is not routinely performed, MRI is used to assess abnormalities on a mammogram, get a more accurate estimate of a cancer's size, and check for other cancers. MRI can also be used for screening in woman at high risk of breast cancer. Examples include:...
"This research shows how we might be able to identify people with a high risk ofbreast cancer, but equally how we could identify those with a low risk. So it's an important step toward personalizedscreening." Abstract no: 22, "An individualized breast cancer risk assessment model for women...
But screening is important for someone who is transgender, Hazen stressed. Transgender females (male to female) develop up to a 46 times higher risk of breast cancer following gender transition, largely due to the estrogen-containing medications they take to feminize their body, accordi...
The research will help adjust breast cancer screening methods and scope, according to researchers. "For high-risk women, screening can be started in advance so that the disease can be detected as soon as possible and treatment measures can be taken," said Tang....
