Breast cancer screening with MRI benefits women with radiation therapy history(Radiological Society of North America) Breast cancer screening with MRI can detect invasive cancers missed on mammography in women who've undergone chest irradiation for other diseases, according to a new study....
Reports that combined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and mammography is the best method of detecting breast cancer in patients with high genetic risk. Study published online by "The Lancet"; Indication that MRI was nearly twice as sensitive...
According to studies, breast cancer screening using MRI two times a year is considered better than one mammogram per year. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, comprising about 22.9 percent of all invasive cancers and 13.7 percent of cancer deaths of women worldwide. Because of th...
The Future of Breast Cancer Screening A few months ago, a close family member faced the terrifying uncertainty of finding a lump in her breasts. My relative, who had a history of dense breast tissue and had undergone multiple surgeries to remove benign lumps, found another during a routine se...
As part of our MBCC coverage we discuss MRI screening for breast cancer in patients who carry a BRCA mutation or have a first-degree relative who is a BRCA carrier.
The aims of this study are to investigate: the value of regular surveillance in women with a familial or genetic predisposition for breast cancer, the efficacy of MRI as compared to mammography, cost-effectiveness of regular screening and quality of life during surveillance. Included are women ...

Will we still be using mammography for breast cancer screening one fourth of the way through this century? That was the question posed in one session at ECR 2011, and speaker Christine Kuhl said she greatly fears that we actually may. "Why not use what we already have for screening?" she...
Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been a very fast developing tool for the assessment of breast cancer and quickly moved from research to clinical settings. It is being used to evaluate patients with specific indications and as a screening tool for high-risk patients. The value of ...
Purpose The aim of this study was to estimate the cost effectiveness of breast cancer screening with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with and without adjunctive x-ray mammography (XM), compared with XM alone in high-risk women. Materials and Methods A model was developed to...
